278. Ffrench-Mullen, Lieut. Titus. Letters to His Family while in 8th Battalion of the Nigerian Regiment. The archive consists of one postcard and fifteen letters sent to his parents between February 5 and July 28, 1946. Most letters written on note-sized paper and three or four pages (or more) in length. Written in a clear hand. Envelopes are not present, except for the first letter, addressed to his father (Lt. Col. D. P. Ffrench-Mullen) at the Belgravia Hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Also included is a very interesting five-page letter dated Oct. 16, 1945 from Major General [Brocas?] Burrows to Lt.-Gen. Sir Charles Loyd. The first two letters and the postcard were sent prior to the Lieut.'s arrival in Enugu, Nigeria. No military secrets but he has a pleasant, breezy style of writing about life as a junior officer and his interpretation of his new surroundings. The final letter details various career options and explains why he intends to try to transfer to the King's African Rifles. There the correspondence ends. [continued on next page] [Item 278 continued] Major General Burrows' letter appears to have been sent on to our young Lieut. since he was considering Nigeria. Burrows details reasons why young officers should consider serving in the "white man's sepulchre" which he says "in no way deserves the evil reputation which it has got and which in days gone by was possibly justified." He then outlines sporting & recreational possibilities, the fact that the climate is better than thought, and writes about expanded leave and other inducements he has implemented. to attract quality men to West Africa. The lieut.'s experiences detailed in his letters paint a less appealing picture. 650.00
