Giraffe Question

Hi all, can anyone tell me how the sub species of Giraffe called "Thorncroft" got its name please? I understand it is slightly smaller than others and the blotch patterns end at the knees giving the impression of socks ...:confused:
 
Named after a District Commissioner in the then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), H.S. Thornicroft.

:p
