Pics From James Ryder
James was a young child who lived in Leonora BG his father was the estate engineer he still remembers Capt Mad Campbell who took the lads on a trip up the Essequibo around July/ August. James writes I was one of the boys on the trip There were several on that outing but I can't remember any names. We went by boat from Leonora where the Fusiliers were stationed onto the Essequibo, spent the night in a camp we made on the island pictured, then on to another island where the Dutch fort was,Kike over Al, I think.My father was manager of Leonora at the time and I remember well Captain Campbell for his eccentricity. We had some good parties in the Club. Most of us were back home from school in the UK and our up todate records were much appreciated by the troopers. I have a few other photos but mostly scenery, liked the photograph of the Quarters at Leonora on your site. What's Captain Campbell up to now. Thanks, The attached is what's left of Leonora Estate now and other photos. James is now living in Edinburgh.

Colin Boutty's Pet memories
Ginger Hodnutt had a young alligator in BG. It attacked a pet otter which someone else had, but I can't remember who. The same otter attacked Joe's Nelson the parrot, and that's why it finished up with only one eye, and a broken leg. All that after having its wings clipped to stop it flying away! During my time in BG, I had an Armadillo which crapped all over the place, so I got rid of it, then I had a three toed sloth, which I used to stick on a tree while working. It was too slow to escape. I can't remember what happened to that, I think one of the locals ate it! The cat of mad Campbell's was a young ,Oceot (small tiger) he threw it in the swimming pool in Georgetown, and it took the locals about three seconds to get out!! |
