Abstract

For many of those who had survived the First World War the rise of fascism in Germany was an ominous prelude to another conflict. Several officers from that war had in the 1920s bought farms in the Marandellas district and they now became vociferous in their call for action. Foremost among these was Major A. H. Macllwaine, DSO, MC. He had been in Britain during the Munich crisis and had been horrified by the unpreparedness of that country at the time, especially since he was convinced that the lack of overt planning to restrain the Germans before 1914 had encouraged them to instigate the war. On the very day that the Rhodesia Herald carried a report that Neville Chamberlain might be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the paper published a letter from Major Macllwaine filling two whole columns and demanding governmental action, together with a reply from Robert Tredgold, the Minister of Defence.1 Macllwaine had many supporters in the district and a small delegation travelled to Salisbury to interview the Prime Minister.
