Martin H. Samuel (son) My mother (Margaret Vera Samuel, née Bignell) divorced my father (when I was 18) after she learned the truth of his early life... He was actually born on the 22nd March 1911 as Werner Joseph Heinrich Stephan, of an English mother, Lilian Stephan, née Crasley and German father, Joseph Stephan (both Catholic), in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. His parents left Germany for England, where they obtained British passports, and my father became Arthur Hentschel Samuel, born in Eastbourne. The family emigrated to Tanganyika (then German East Africa) and my father 'imported' and later married Lottie, his childhood sweetheart from Germany.

My father started working with EAR&H (East African Railways and Harbours) as a TTI (Traveling Ticket Inspector). As the coaches had no connecting doors, he had to jump off, run alongside and jump back on the train whenever it slowed on a bend or a hill. This is the same railway line, then alive with lions, which goes through what  became Tsavo game reserve. He ended up in the EAR&H Control Office, Nairobi. 
A few years after my mother divorced my father, he and Lottie were reunited in S. Africa, through Russie Potgieter, a mutual friend from Kitale, Kenya, and continued living together in; Germany, Spain and, briefly, Sydney, Australia.
