Mr. W. S. CHADWICK : 'Tales of the Elephant Trail'

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

A T some time or other, most boys pass through a stage in which the ' mighty hunter'the Allan Quartermaine of fiction—represents their ideal man. Mr. Chadwick has a strong claim to the title. A Londoner by birth, he went to South Africa in 1900, during the Boer War, and spent the next eight years in various bodies of mounted police. In 1909 he was trading and hunting in Matabeljland ; in 1911, in the Belgian Congo; and 1914 found him in Barotseland. After the war (when he fought in German South-West and German East Africa) he rode, hunted, traded and explored in Nyasaland, Portuguese East Africa, Rhodesia, and Angola. Since 1926 he has been a journalist, author and lecturer, and he has recently been lecturing in Copenhagen.
