Alban talks about my grandfather who worked with the Sudan Defence Force in 1929, and was hit by a canon shot loaded with nails and bed casters. He was a very keen linguist and during his convalescence in the UK studied languages at SOAS. He went on to be the liaison officer and interpreter for King Faisal II of Iraq at George VI's Coronation in 1937.
