Hugh Paterson was educated for the Navy at Osborne and Dartmouth, where he knew Alfred Russell. He was a midshipman in the King George V at the "Battle of Jutland" and transferred in 1917 to the destroyer Lance as a sub-lieutenant. After World War I, he was sent by the Navy to Trinity College, Cambridge, for six months, after which he joined the destroyer Whirlwind. In 1922 he served in the battleship Malaya. The following year he left the Navy, and went to Kashmir in India, where he spent a couple of years cutting wood on the Bannihal Pass. In 1925, Hugh Paterson went to Kenya to visit an ex-naval friend, and stayed on. He bought Kwanza farm, completely virgin country one hundred miles walk from the nearest railhead, and some two hundred and fifty miles west of Nairobi. This he developed over the years into a prosperous 4000 acre farm. On the outbreak of World War II, Hugh Paterson left the farm to his wife and joined Contraband Control in Malta, an effectual job since all contraband came from Italy and was not controlled. When H.M.S. Garland put into Malta, the commanding officer of the ship went sick and Hugh Paterson took over command. The ship had an entirely Polish crew, including Midshipman Joseph Bartosik who subsequently rose to the rank of Rear-Admiral. At the end of 1940, Hugh Paterson left the Garland due to trouble with his eyesight, and went to Freetown in Sierra Leone, to handle Convey Control. Two years later, he moved to Mombassa in charge of harbour defences, 500 WRNS, etc. It was a most enjoyable station, well away from the most arduous part of the war; nothing was rationed except whisky. After the end of World War II, Hugh returned to his farm in Kenya, which he continued to develop. He paid a visit to Scotland in 1968. Hugh Paterson was first married in 1927 to Enid May Bowman, whose family came from Australia. May died suddenly in 1944, whilst her husband was away to the war. Hugh was married for a second time in 1947 to Beatrice Avelyn Bett (1909-1968), born in Russia with a Scottish father and a Swiss/English mother. Because at the time of her birth Russia was still using the old Greek calender, Eve could claim two dates for her birth, 17th or 30th July. Her parents had quit Russia for Kenya at the time of the Russian Revolution. She had been first married in1937, and had two children from her first marriage. After her death, Hugh was married for a third time, in 1969, to Alice Celia Springer, a widow who survived him.
