Chapter on the South African

Constabulary to be published

in Scouting Games, written

as a substitute for a chapter

on John Nicholson.

Nicholson was a military and

political officer of the East

India Company and played a

major part in the pacification

of the turbulent North West

Frontier Province and later in

the Indian Mutiny. For his

role in the latter, he became

something of a hate figure in

India although he did inspire

a religious cult amongst the

tribesmen of the North West

where he was worshipped as

'Nikal Seyn'.

Letters between Stanley Ince,

Warden, Roland House, and

Baden-Powell regarding the

publication of a play called

Broken Journey, about the

life of Roland Philipps, the

Founder of Roland House.

Ince is asking that B-P

contribute a foreword to the

book and supplies a possible

draft. However, Baden-

Powell is reluctant to

contribute as he feels that the

play needs to be acted and

produced to the highest

possible standards if it is not

to descend into bathos.

Nevertheless he does enclose

a possible foreword but says

that he would prefer it to be

torn up and not used.
