“…Whilst it is understandable that professionals may have reservations regarding the outputs of amateurs, these can be of great interest. Michael Moss, co-author of an award-winning book on medical services in the Royal Navy in the era of Admiral Nelson, has stated that the work of family historians on ships' officers and surgeons -much of it available online -was of material assistance in that study (Brockliss, Cardwell and Moss, 2005).…”

This chapter offers a reflection on the experience of writing a biographical study of one White British family resident in East and Central Africa over the greater part of the twentieth century. It offers also some tentative generalisations on the subject of White British diasporas in East and Central Africa and heritage provision for them. Questions of class and classification in the colonial services and in the commercial sphere are discussed. The difficulties that arise in studying people who served in the lower echelons of the colonial services—which the author characterises as the ‘warrant officer' class—are considered and potentially useful source materials are identified. This discussion is illustrated with particular reference to the Carr family. The role of memory institutions in Africa is discussed in relation to White British diasporas and it is argued that provision for this group is currently neglected. The potential for ancestral tourism is briefly explored.

Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, the greatest British naval hero, was fatally wounded during the Battle of Trafalgar. Conventional theory holds that he died mainly of an injury to a major blood vessel in the chest. However, a review of the empirical evidence-with the benefit of modern medical science-, suggests that the primary cause of death was a spinal neurogenic shock from transection of the mid thoracic spinal cord. These conditions do not necessarily exclude each other.
