Former DHS headboy in horrific rhino attack in Malawi
Lawrence's former teacher at Dundee High, Kevin Burge, described him 'one of the most competent students every produced by DHS'
Former Dundee High School headboy, Lawrence Munro, was airlifted to a South African hospital after he was horrifically injured in a rhino attack in Malawi.
The Daily Mail described the 41-year-old Dundonian as a ‘close friend of Prince Harry’ after they had both worked on a wildlife conservation project in Africa.
Game ranger Lawrence Munro, 41 – described by Harry as a great team-mate and ‘one of the best’ – was tossed and gored by the adult female which charged him and a group of visitors in Malawi’s Liwonde national park.

Witnesses described how the father-of-two suffered a wound that stretched from his foot to his hip after he stepped into the animal’s path to protect the visitors.
An emergency compress was applied to Mr Munro’s wound as a colleague radioed for help. They then carried him to the nearest path while a helicopter was scrambled to take him to hospital in South Africa.
Once again, @HRHHenryWindsor visits while I'm away!
