Life events of Latham Leslie Moore[edit]
Latham Leslie Moore was born in Paddington, London, United Kingdom in 1893,[3] died in 1980 and was buried in the Old Soldiers' Cemetery in Nanyuki, Kenya.[4]
During World War I, he served as a second lieutenant and then lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery.[5]
Moore purchased the physical property of the sultanate in 1924.[6]
Flag[edit]
The flag was loosely based upon other contemporary traditional British Empire flags containing a tricolor of orange, blue and green with a Union flag in the canton.
In popular culture[edit]
Moore and the sultanate were featured in a 1983 book NO MAN'S LAND. The Last of White Africa. By John Heminway.[7]
The Sultanate was also featured in the book Colours of the Fleet, by Malcolm Farrow, OBE, which strived to provide a compendium of all known instances of flags based on British designs.[8]
