Poultney - Personal History

Even before I read Peter
Godwin's book, Mukiwa, I had in mind to write the story of my
life in Rhodesia and what has transpired since then. Having read Mukiwa,
which is really the quintessential story of many a white child's
life in Rhodesia, I am even more inspired to record my own tales.
At the beginning of each section listed below I will state the
basic facts of that time and then, as time permits, lower down
each page I will recount the stories and anecdotes of those time
periods. I hope that you will visit frequently and enjoy these
with me.
