This is a question I and others have often asked. I have compiled my own list, which doesn't include no's 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 21 and 24 on your list. but does have the following additions.
Bruxner-Randall, Walter George 16 Apr 1954
Bruxner-Randall, Dorothy 16 Apr 1954
Candler, Jim ?
Edmonds, Charlie ?
Giffard, Robin ?
Hall, Robert ?
Judge, Neville ?
Medcalfe, Wyn 4 Mar 1956
Milton, Helen Mrs ?
Milton, Margaret Miss ?
Osbourne, Nora Mrs ?
Osbourne, Scotty ?
Parfitt, master ?
Pedler, G R ?
Pedley, Chris ?
Semini, Alex ?
Seton, Mrs ?
Smith, Donald A ?
Wright, Margaret Oct 1952, first victim.

I have no dates or information on those with a question mark. It is possible some were police or military in which case they might not qualify as "settlers".

J R Stephens in your list was a Reserve Police Officer but at 67 years of age was probably a settler as well.

Similarly Richard Bingley in your list was one of 31 from the Kenya Regiment who lost their lives during the Emergency so similarly probably doesn't count as a settler even though in reality most of them were.

I would certainly welcome any information on the above to confirm if they should or shouldn't be included.

Does anyone have a list of Police who lost their lives during the emergency? Some Police graves I have come across from the time of the emergency state "accidentaly killed" so would they still be classified as victims of Mau Mau?

Thanks

Bob Barnes
