Hmmm

The last signature Odongo’s, is dated 8/7/1961.

In colonial Kenya one would expect such a date to be shown British style - as 7/8/1961, assuming they mean August 7 1961.

Similarly, his mother’s birthdate is shown as 11/29/1942.

Hmmm, think they’ll have to do better than that !

How long have the British been using that date style?
