230 OBITUARIES become Calcutta institutions like the Calcutta Horse Show, which he ran for 20 years. Together with the Maharajah of Burdwan, Bob revived Polo in Calcutta, making it again a big event around Christmas time. The British School in Calcutta also has Bob to thank for its existence, and provides a place where expatriate children can receive their education without having to be “sent home”. Soon after returning to India Bob had married Anne in 1950. She was from the Layard family, whose ancestors had been colonial administers for two centuries, as well as great hunters. But Anne put the guns away and became a trustee of the World Wide Fund for Nature and dedicated herself to the cause of conservation. Anne and Bob used to keep both a pet tiger and a leopard, and in the early 1980s the family also set up a jungle retreat that Bob ran. He loved to sit around the campfire with a chota of gin and tell stories. The Kipling Camp by the Kanha National Park in the state of Madhya Pradesh was to become the home not only of nimble felines, but also of the elephant Tara. Anne and Bob’s daughter Belinda became a wildlife photographer who, together with Anne, started theWildlife Protection Society of India.The couple also had a son, Rupert. Bob continued to run the Tolly until 1997 when he retired. As he kept his residence in the club he was still very much a presence in the local community. Bob and his wife had become the social hub around which British life in Calcutta revolved after long service to their fellows. They cared for and made blossom a particular Anglo-Indian world of those that stayed behind. Bob’s charisma and bonhomie made him into a very natural and effective leader who was very well liked. He died at the age of 80 on 19 April 2005. Bob is survived by his wife and their two children. His funeral procession was so large that it brought Calcutta’s busy traffic to a halt. ROBERT IAN WYNNE-JONES (1943) was born in September 1925 in Coulsdon, Surrey. After Oundle School he came to King’s to read Mechanical Sciences and did some teaching at the King’s Choir School, where he met his future wife, Mary Donald, who also taught there.
From 1944 to 1946 Robert served with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve before joining the civil engineering company Willcox, Raikes and Marshall. In 1950 he moved to Hayward Tyler & Co Ltd in Luton, a manufacturer of pumps and turbines, where he was a competent and reliable sales engineer. In 1951 Robert and Mary married.They spent most of their married life in Harpenden and had three daughters. Robert left Hayward Tyler in 1959 to join the Fire Protection Association, where he stayed until his retirement. His work there involved a great deal of lecturing and giving presentations for which he felt that his teaching experience at the Choir School had proved useful preparation. Robert was an expert gardener and he and Mary were both very musical.They both did a great deal of work helping the mentally handicapped. It was a great blow when Mary died of cancer. Robert also developed the disease, but struggled on. He moved to the South Coast to be near his eldest daughter, but died shortly afterwards on 20 January 2000. He is remembered as a quiet, sincere, kindly and noble person fully measuring up to Christian ideals. GEORGE WORTHING YATES (1927) was born on 14 October 1901 and attended Dartmouth College and Brown University. He came to King’s to read English and Modern Languages and was a member of the Boat Club. King’s knows very little of his subsequent life, although he got married in 1936 and lived in California for many years. He wrote scripts for both film and television and also tried his hand at farming, growing citrus and avocados. He died on 6 June 1975 in Sonoma, California. WARREN ZIMMERMANN (1956), who during his service with the US Department of State earned a reputation as a capable diplomat and humanitarian, died of pancreatic cancer on 3 February 2004 at the age of 69. Warren was born on 16 November 1934 in Philadelphia and was raised just west of the city in Haverford by his father, who was a businessman and noted local singer, and his mother, an intellectual. 231 OBITUARIES
