A RARE PHOTOGRAPH

While you wait for the next chapter of THE RETREAT, I thought you might be interested to see this historic photograph, which I discovered recently amongst some papers relating to the ealy years of the Aschaven SUC (Slave Utilisation Centre).

It appears to show one of the Wardens instructing a slave boy in his care. I have so far been unable to identify the Warden, but he seems to be taking a close, even sympathetic, interest in the slave - maybe preparing him for inspection by a potential buyer.

 

One can only wonder what the boy's ultimate fate was.
