I recently came across some original documents concerning my evacuation from Biafra as described in my memoir, The Up-Country Man (see below) and decided it would be interesting to post them on my website. They are all mentioned in my memoir and provide an insight into the situation prevailing in Biafra at the time (July1967) I will post more as they are processed.

Kenneth, Interesting documents. I never received any warnings or instructions in Onitsha from anybody. I would like to find the advert that, like yours, took me to West Africa (The Gold Coast) in 1955. Someday I will have a serious look at old newspapers in a library. Too busy at the moment – doing the books for the Senior Citizens’ Association! Regards, Calum
Calum, so nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well and, as it seems, keeping busy. Ken
