For some reason your picture does not show up on my screen, but I know the one you mean, I think.

And the story behind it is quite fascinating as well:

And for that matter, the same could be said of Lord Lovat!

That is a first-class obituary for Sir Fitzroy. I read his Eastern Approaches as a teenager (my dad had a copy), and I also have a fascinating book he wrote about Central Asia.
But the New York Times did get one thing wrong: In Britain (as in South Africa) one does not graduate from high school (in his case, Eton College). One only graduates at a university.
