Joseph Moloney
Joseph Moloney (1857-5 October 1896) was the Irish-born British medical officer on the 1891-92 Stairs Expedition which seized Katanga in Central Africa for the Belgian King Leopold II, killing its ruler, Msiri, in the process. Dr Moloney took charge of the expedition for a few weeks when its military officers were dead or incapacitated by illness, and wrote a popular account of it, ''With Captain Stairs to Katanga: Slavery and Subjugation in the Congo 1891-92'', published in 1893.〔Joseph A. Moloney: ''With Captain Stairs to Katanga: Slavery and Subjugation in the Congo 1891-92''. Sampson Low, Marston & Company, London, 1893 (reprinted by Jeppestown Press, ISBN 9780955393655)〕
==Early career==
Born Joseph Augustus Moloney in Newry, Ireland, in 1857, he studied at Trinity College Dublin and St Thomas's Hospital, London. He practised medicine in South London, and was a sportsman and yachtsman, with a taste for adventure, and was said to be 'hard as nails'. He served as a military doctor in the First Boer War in South Africa, and as medical officer on an expedition to Morocco, returning in 1890.〔 website accessed 29 April 2007.〕 On the strength of this, he was appointed by Canadian-born British army officer Captain William Stairs as one of five Europeans on his well-armed mission with 336 African askaris and porters to take possession of Katanga for Leopold's Congo Free State, with or without Msiri's consent.〔Moloney, 1893: p9.〕
