Josef Kana was married to my Aunt – Madge Nyria Payne, they married in Wells Somerset in 1949. Madge was the english partner mentioned above, she returned to the UK in the late 60s. Madge met Joseph in the RAF I think her service number was 422237
I believe Josef was an escaped POW but the family history is sketchy
I met Joseph Kana in Naivasha, a small town 40 miles north of Nairobi in Kenya.
I visited him with Janko Lazar (RAF 311 Squadron Pilot), the year was about 1965, Janko and myself were working for Bata Kenya. Joseph had a little house and small plot of land, about 1 mile from Lake Naivasha, where he lived with his English partner (I am not sure if they were married, they later separated and she returned to England).
Later Joseph had a job with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in Somalia, there apparently he lived with a Somali woman. This is the last I heard about him in the late 1960s.
NB. Joseph was an amateur artist and gave me two watercolour paintings of African flowers. I still have these two signed paintings hanging on my wall reminding me of my time in Kenya.
Thank you very much for this information, it is most helpful and we will pass it on to the researcher.
