    The Governor of Tanganyika, H E Sir Edward Twining, presents the British Empire Medal (BEM) to WOPC (Warrant Officer Platoon Commander) Eleuteri, of the 6th Battalion, King's African Rifles, at Iringa, Southern Highlands Province, June 1954. The award was in recognition of WOPC Eleuteri's conduct during a battle at the Kenya Police Post of Othaya in May 1953 when the post was attacked by a Mau Mau gang estimated at between 200 and 400 strong. In the background are Lady Twining, on left of picture, then the Governor's Private Secretary Lt. Col. T Leahy.

    This address by the Governor was part of the ceremony for the return of Mkwawa's skull to the Hehe people, on 9 June 1954, at Kalenga, near Iringa in that district. The figure on the right is Chief Adam Sapi, the Chief of the Hehe, being Mkwawa's grandson. He is dressed in the traditional Hehe fashion. It had been Sir Edward Twining's personal achievement to have arranged for the return of the skull from the Bremen Anthropological Museum in Germany where it had been kept.
