[edit] Biography

Around 1909, Medlicot moved to a coffee plantation in British East Africa, and invited the Jones family to visit while on Henry's world lecture tour. During their visit, Medlicot and the Jones family traveled to join a safari with Teddy Roosevelt and Frederick Selous. Taking the train out to Kirinyaga, Medlicot, Henry, and young Indy rode on special seats on the front of the locomotive to better view the African wildlife.^[2]

Once settled into the camp, Medlicot showed Indy around the camp, and introduced him to Heller and Frederick Selous, and pointed out Kermit Roosevelt to him.

The next day Medlicot accompanied Teddy Roosevelt on the hunt after Indy's first shooting lesson.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Medlicot was portrayed by Edward Tudor-Pole in the episode "British East Africa, September 1909" of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. When the episode was edited into The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones film Passion for Life, Medlicot's introduction at his plantation was cut. Passion for Life now begins with Henry Jones, Henry Jr. and Medlicot riding on the front of the locomotive through Africa. Medlicot is still seen guiding young Indy around the camp and introducing him.
