Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3011C/39

Scope and Contents

Showing the Kimbugwe of Toro standing with three other figures in the courtyard outside a thatched building: 'From Kasinga we crossed over in canoes to the Toro side, and .... came to our camp. Although this was at Katwe, in the disputed territory, the Katikiro, and Kimbugwe, another of the principal chiefs of Toro, had come to meet me and give me a welcome to Toro. The camp they had prepared for me was quite the best I have yet seen ... They are both most intelligent men, and although they were almost barbarians when Lugard was in Toro, 15 years ago, they are now quite up to date.' (Bell 1907, February 15).
