Many thanks for the chance to read, Patricia Friedberg’s Memoir,  Letters from Wankie. It is a valuable addition to the FLAME LILY FOUNDATION's Reference Library of more than 600 non-fiction books on Rhodesia.
Please convey my best wishes to Patricia. I notice that she travelled back to England on the Carnarvon Castle in March 1956. I too travelled to England on the Carnarvon Castle eight months later, so we have that in common.
I passed through Wankie (now Hwange) in December last year. The old Baobab Hotel is a prominent landmark (photo attached) that has not changed much since the 1950s.
Kind regards,
