  • “Naughty Willie” at Rhodes House
    Gowers of Uganda : Conduct and Misconduct Being an abridged version of an article forthcoming in ARAS : Gowers of Uganda: The Public and Private Life of a Forgotten Colonial Governor Roger Scott, University of Queensland I Apparently, not a lot has been written about the conduct of the private lives of colonial governors. This is in contrast to the information provided in histories and novels and films about white settler society in southern and eastern Africa. In my conference contribution, I want to add to this scarce literature. My forthcoming article in ARAS has a wider compass, including an appreciation of the intersection between the public and private life of a forgotten governor of Uganda, Sir William Gowers. Both pieces draw upon original archival and obscure secondary sources examined in the context of a wider project, a biography by my wife focussed on another member of the Gowers family, her paternal grand-father, Sir Ernest Gowers. These primary sources1 provide testimony from, among others, the Prince of Wales and his aide-de-campe, that Gowers was outgoing, entertaining, and full of bravado as well as personal bravery. The same files also reveal that his personal life became a source of widespread scandal among the East African Europeans, especially missionaries, and it required the intervention of his mentor Lord Lugard to fight off his dismissal by the Colonial Secretary. William was in other words a prototype of the cliché of the romantic literature of his era: the “Black Sheep” of the family. William and his younger brother Ernest were provided with an education at Rugby and Cambridge explicitly designed for entry to the public service.

No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote.

  • Some Myths Relating to the Promotion to Field Marshal of Sir Thomas Blamey in 1950
    CONTRIBUTED ESSAY Some myths relating to the promotion to field marshal of Sir Thomas Blamey in 1950 David J. Deasey Military Historian Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, New South Wales1 General Sir Thomas Blamey who, during World War II, had been commander-in-chief of the Australian Military Forces and, concurrently, commander of the Allied Land Forces in the South-West Pacific Area, was recalled from retirement in 1950 and promoted to field marshal. Recent research in the Australian archives has revealed that the accepted story surrounding his promotion contained several myths, including that the British War Office resisted the promotion. Field Marshal Sir Thomas Blamey has remained a biographer, on posing questions to Defence Department controversial figure in death as in life.

Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Zambezia (1983), XI (I). ESSAY REVIEW LAST DAYS OF WHITE RHODESIA THE TITLE OF this essay review is that of Dennis Hills's book on events in this country from mid-1978 to mid-1980.' This is his second book on the subject within three yearss2 and, although enjoyable, is symptomatic of the tendency of writers and publishers to saturate a market. Thus we have had 'Rhodesian Problems',3 'Ending Eras',4 'Rhodesias to Zimbabwes'5 and 'Roads to Zimbabwe',6 'Racial Conflicts',7 'Triumphs or Tragedies'8 or simply 'Tragedies',9 'Short Thousand Years',10 and 'Pasts Are Another Country'11 often with sub-titles that confuse one with another even more, sometimes, as in the case of the last two mentioned, with revised editions (and revised subtitle in one case) to keep up with the march of events. Such is the plethora, in fact, that distinguishing one from another becomes difficult, particularly as they all go over similar ground with little originality; the purpose of this essay, therefore, is simply to provide a brief record of the more recent of these books and of those which for one reason or another were not reviewed earlier. Perhaps the most blatant example of'over-publishing' on Rhodesia was that of Kwane Nkrumah's Rhodesia File which was but a half-written manu- script and working file that the publishers have seized upon; nevertheless, and despite Nkrumah's lack of real knowledge of the problem, one is constantly struck by the vigour of his mind and the continental sweep of his ideas.12 Another aspect of saturating the market for works on Rhodesia has been the 'D.

This paper delves into the little known history of this Movement from its inception in 1937 to the 1960s. In doing so, it addresses how Canada directly participated, directed and contributed in tangible ways towards the shifting of meanings and ideas of the British Empire and the Commonwealth for impressionable youth of different territories within the British sphere of influence.
