information from David Musgrave (son)

He was born 3rd September 1909 in Dulwich London
He spent his 21st birthday in Australia on a Cattle Ranch as a cowboy.
He spent a number of years in Burma working with Elephants - for what reason or in what capacity, I am afraid I do not know.
As a young boy I remember a Tiger skin rug in our home and there are some stories of Tiger hunting in Burma - thay may be where the Big Game Hunter story may come from.
Around the time War broke out he was working for An Americam Oil Company in the Persian Gulf - I do not know which one but despite it being a reserved profession he returned to England and signed up.
Immediatly after the War the family left these shores for Rhodesia where he became a Farmer - mainly Tobacco.
He died in Rhodesia shortly before his 50th birthday. Stomach Cancer.
