1. Charles Henry RYALL [1874-1908] - Man-Eaters of Tsavo

http://www.rtpnet.org/robroy/tsavo/tsavo.html#appendix Excerpt: .....He (the lion) sprang at once at Ryall, but in order to reach him had actually to plant his feet on Parenti, who, it will be remembered, was sleeping on the floor. At this moment Huebner was suddenly awakened by a loud cry, and on looking down from his berth was horrified to see an enormous lion standing with his hind feet on Parenti's body, while his forepaws rested on poor Ryall. Small wonder that he was panic-stricken at the sight. There was only one possible way of escape, and that was through the second sliding door communicating with the servants' quarters, which was opposite to that by which the lion had entered. But in order to reach this door Huebner had literally to jump on to the man-eater's back, for its great bulk filled up all the space beneath his berth. It sounds scarcely credible, but it appears that in the excitement and horror of the moment he actually did this, and fortunately the lion was too busily engaged with his victim to pay any attention to him. So he managed to reach the door in safety; but there, to his dismay, he found that it was held fast on the other side by the terrified coolies, who had been aroused by the disturbance caused by the lion's entrance. In utter desperation he made frantic efforts to open it, and exerting all his strength at last managed to pull it back sufficiently far to allow him to squeeze through, when the trembling coolies instantly tied it up again with their turbans. A moment afterwards a great crash was heard, and the whole carriage lurched violently to one side; the lion had broken through one of the windows, carrying off poor Ryall with him. Being now released, Parenti lost no time in jumping through the window on the opposite side of the carriage, and fled for refuge to one of the station buildings; his escape was little short of miraculous, as the lion had been actually standing on him as he lay on the floor. The carriage itself was badly shattered, and the wood-work of the window had been broken to pieces by the passage of the lion as he sprang through with his victim in his mouth. All that can be hoped is that poor Ryall's death was instantaneous. His remains were found next morning about a quarter of a mile away in the bush, and were taken to Nairobi for burial. I am glad to be able to add that very shortly afterwards the terrible brute who was responsible for this awful tragedy was caught in an ingenious trap constructed by one of the railway staff. He was kept on view for several days, and then shot.

2. Alfgar HESKETH-PRICHARD [1917-1944/45] The last days of:

http://www.quns.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Record/1998/History/WartimeMystery.html Excerpt: ......His (Alfgar) last signal, on December 3 1944, read, "Give my regards to all at White's. This is no life for a gentleman". After that nothing was heard from him and no-one seems to know how he met his end. Perhaps he was discovered and killed by the Nazis, though no record has been found, perhaps he succumbed to the harsh conditions, perhaps Russian agents competing for control in Southern Austria eliminated him, maybe even the partisans themselves found him too much of liability and had to kill him to avoid detection themselves, though the survivors hotly deny any such idea. Alfgar's remains were never found, though a body dressed in British uniform was discovered and buried in Volkermarkt where Hesketh-Prichard's name is included on a memorial. the mission is described officially as "magnificent but unsuccessful", but his heroism and gallantry are remembered by the Slovenian people with whom he spent his last months. He was awarded the M.C. posthumously.
