William Harold Ingrams (1897-1973)

William Harold Ingrams was born on 3 February 1897,
the son of W. S. Ingrams. He was educated at Shrewsbury School. He
married Doreen Shortt in 1930 (died 1997), with whom he had two
daughters.
He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the King's Shropshire
Light Infantry, 1914-18, was promoted Lieutenant, 1914, and wounded in
action. He joined the Colonial Service and held the following posts:
Assistant District Commissioner, 1919-25, and Second Assistant
Secretary, 1925-7, Zanzibar; Assistant Colonial Secretary, Mauritius,
1927-33; and Acting Colonial Secretary, Zanzibar, 1932-3.
He served as Political Officer, Aden, 1934-7, and British Resident
Adviser at Mukalla, Saudi Arabia (later the Eastern Aden
Protectorate), 1937-40 and 1942-4; and Acting Governor, 1940, and
Chief Secretary, 1940-2, Aden. During this period, he and his wife
travelled extensively in the Hadhramaut, becoming the first Europeans
to explore the Sei'ar country and the Mahra hinterland and helping to
negotiate a truce between local tribesmen, 1937. Doreen Ingrams also
organised relief centres and medical care in Mukalla during the famine
of 1943-4 and established a school for the blind, 1943, and later a
bedouin girls' school in the town.
Harold Ingrams was seconded to the British Control Commission in
Germany, 1945-7. He returned to the Colonial Service as Chief
Commissioner, Northern Territories, Gold Coast, 1947-8, and served on
missions to Gibraltar, 1949; Hong Kong, 1950; and Uganda, 1956. He was
Adviser on Overseas Information, Colonial Office, 1950-4; editor of
"Commonwealth Challenge" and "If You Ask Me", 1952-66; and a member of
the Joint Research Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
1966-8. He retired to Kent, 1968, and died on 9 December 1973.

From Preface
...

THE
name of Harold Ingrams is already so well known to all who are
interested in Arabia and the Arabs that it is superfluous to
introduce him to those to whom primarily this book will appeal. Its
attraction will not, however, be limited to Arabian experts and
enthusiasts: it is a book that will interest and entertain a far
wider public, and for this reason and also because for several years
I watched at close quarters of the author's work in the Aden
Protectorate I venture on some introductory remarks on his
achievements in that country. ....
The Colonial Office wishing to establish closer contact with
this outlying part of the Aden Protectorate, found in Ingrams an
eager explorer of the country, of its needs and of its
possibilities. A journey through the length of the Hadhramaut
valley, in which Mrs. Ingrams shared with her husband the
discomforts and local dangers, resulted in an invaluable report
which provided a foundation for the evolution of British policy in
the Eastern Aden Protectorate.

BERNARD REILLY

From Forward
...

A lot
of nonsense has
been talked about "Imperialism" and the word has been given a

meaning of exploitation of backward races. I do not think
anyone
will be able to find much about exploitation in the story of
the Hadhramaut and I have not found it anywhere else in the Empire. But

I am quite certain I am an Imperialist and equally certain
that the
vast majority of the Arabs in the Aden Protectorate are too,
because
we all believe inn belonging to an Empire which runs itself
on a
basis of the mutual interests of all who belong to it. As it
has
turned out we have gained a great thing out of doing our
best for
the Arabs in the Hadhramaut and that is their friendship and
their
firm confidence in snd desire for our ultimate victory. ...
