Abstract
SIR GRANVILLE ST. JOHN ORDE BROWNE, who died on May 12, was a pioneer in work for the improvement of labour conditions in the British Colonies, particularly in Africa. Born in 1883, he first went to Africa as an artilleryofficer in the Zulu War of 1906. In 1909 he joined the administrative service in Kenya ; his observations made among some of the minor tribes (Chuka, Embu, Mwimbe, Emberre) were published in 1925 in his book “The Vanishing Tribes of Kenya”. Recalled to the colours in 1914, he served throughout the East African campaign, and his experience with native carriers aroused the interest in native labour which dominated the rest of his life.
