Captain Gilbert ("Guy") Blaine was a British soldier, writer, falconer, and sportsman-naturalist who collected African fauna (including bird specimens now housed in the Natural History Museum in London). In 1922, he travelled to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) alongside Major H. C. Maydon to document the region and hunt big game like the Walia ibex.
