SG440 1s6d Blue, Grey & Dark Brown (Portrait of William Milton)
Sir William Henry Milton
moved to Mashonaland and under the influence of his friend Cecil John
Rhodes was Mashonaland's third Administrator from 24 July 1897 to 24
January 1901. In 1901, it was decided to combine the administration of
Mashonaland and Matabeleland that had been separated three years before,
and Milton then became the Administrator of the whole of Southern Rhodesia. He
retired in 1914 at the age of 60. In 1922, the biggest school in
Bulawayo at the time was renamed Milton High School in his honour.
