  • 05 Coldstream 1749.Indd
    NICOLAS COLDSTREAM John Nicolas Coldstream 1927–2008 NICOLAS COLDSTREAM was born in Lahore on 30 March 1927, only son of John Coldstream, whose career was spent in the judicial arm of the Indian Civil Service and whose mother (Phyllis née Hambly) was from a military family, Lancers not Coldstreams. His father was knighted in 1938 after retirement but stayed on as fi rst minister of Kapurthala state until 1939. On returning to England the family took up residence in St John’s Wood, moving in 1952 to 180 Ebury Street, SWl. Nicolas, as he was always known, though too often with an added ‘h’, was educated at prep school in Eastbourne, then as a King’s scholar at Eton. St Cyprian’s at Eastbourne had a lasting impression on him, and he concurred with the picture of the school given by Cyril Connolly in Enemies of Promise and George Orwell in ‘Such, such were the joys’. He was one of the fi rst Raj children to travel by air, just once, in 1938, and his fi rst publication was based on it—Croydon to Kapurthala. My First Flight (Kapurthala, Jagatjit Electric Press, 1938); the Maharajah was so impressed that he had it privately printed at his own expense. His fi rst view of the Athenian Akropolis was when the plane stopped to refuel on this journey. At Eton he had to choose between his two best subjects, Classics and Mathematics, and plumped for the former; he much respected his Tutor, Francis Cruso. His career took a not unusual step, from Eton to King’s College Cambridge, but not until he had done his National Service, 1945–8.
