Walter Dalrymple Maitland Bell (8 September 1880 – 30 June 1954), known as Karamojo Bell after the Karamoja sub-region in Uganda, which he travelled extensively, was a Scottish adventurer, big game hunter in East Africa, [3] soldier, decorated fighter pilot, sailor, writer, and painter.
Bell published three books on his time in Africa, The Wanderings of An Elephant Hunter in 1923 and Karamojo Safari in 1949, and Bell of Africa which was published posthumously. He also wrote a number of magazine articles for Country Life and American Rifleman. Bell is considered one of the most successful of Africa's professional elephant hunters.
English: Bell’s Royal Aero Club Aviator’s Certificate (his pilot’s license) photograph, taken on 15 August 1915. It also shows his birthdate, 8 September 1880, at Edinburgh—actually Uphall, Linlithgowshire, now West Lothian.
The number of elephants killed total is indeed correct at 1,011. I have added a reference to "Big Game Hunting REcords of 1931" where the author quotes from his correspondance with Bell himself. Also, in Bell of Africa, Bell writes of finishing with his elephant hunting after "acheiveing his desired aim of 1000."
