Frederick Bell started his working life as customs clerk in Perth. He then followed a career in the military and colonial office that saw him wounded in combat twice, awarded the VC and progress through the ranks from private to Lieutenant Colonel running military logistics out of Plymouth. He angered a lion on a hunt which almost killed him but in the end it was the British Lion that turned on him for telling the truth at the Masai enquiry.
