Default British West Africa

An elderly relative has loaned me a number of photographs of my late
uncle's time in the forces in British West Africa (believed to be
present day Nigeria) in the years immediately after the second world
war. I have recently scanned these into an online album in the hope of
finding out a bit more about them. I would be interested if anyone
could usefully comment on the pictures as they do not mean much more to
me than the labels I have added.

The photo album is at: http://www.johnyeadon.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bwa/

Please reply through this newsgroup rather than the invalid email
address provided.

Interesting photos John, I`d say it was Nigeria but we need somebody
who was there at the time to help. I was in Nigeria for five years
during the seventies, with my husband, who was working both in the Niger
Delta and in the North, I`d guess that the horse racing may be in
Kaduna (north) I have been on a bridge over the Niger, this was at
Owerri I think, which is in eastern Nigeria. I can`t give you much more
help, there will be ways of finding out more, if I think of anything I
will let you know.
Pat.
