ABSTRACT
After Trevor’s books were published in 1998/1999, he was contacted by Alan Neame’s literary agent, the playwright John Goldsmith who handed him many of Alan’s poems and literary works. Going through them in a large cardboard box, Trevor found the letter written by Alan in April 1966, which should have been inside the book he gave as a farewell present, The Lonely African. For some reason, Trevor was unable to open the letter until the tenth anniversary of Neame’s death on October 27, 2000. He finally opens and reads it and drives to St Mary the Virgin Church in Selling, Kent, to say a final farewell to his former tutor learning for the first time that Alan Neame was a major in British Intelligence during the war and might well have been posing as a Mosleyite saving teenage Grundy from a fate worse than death.
