According to Alan Fisk's article The cavalryman rides again: the historical novels of George Shipway in Solander Vol 7 No 1 May 2003, pages 4-6, Shipway was born in India, in Allahabad. So he was very much a product of the British Empire. I'm not about to type out the whole article, so there may be mileage in you contacting Alan direct! Check out his website: http://www.geocities.com/athens/delphi/1869/ Meanwhile, I'll email Alan to tell him that there's some serious Shipway action going on at RAT
