Last Man in
As the last recruit into the British Colonial Administration in Northern Nigeria when the country was on the brink of independence, John Hare was dispatched to serve in some of the remotest areas in the North. He was posted to an area in Adamawa Province, which had been part of the original German Cameroons, until it was divided between France and Great Britain after the Great War and administered as part of the French Cameroons and Nigeria.
