Sir Andrew Caldecott was born on the 26th October 1884 in Boxley, Kent. After studying at Uppingham school in Rutland he was awarded several scholarships that allowed him to accept a place for Exeter College at Oxford University. After graduation in 1907 he joined the Colonial Office and was posted to Malaya. His career in administration now followed a path of rising through the ranks till he eventually served as the Chief Secretary of the Federated Malay States from 1931. In 1935, he was appointed as Governor of Hong Kong, and a year later, such was his reputation at handling difficult positions, he was reassigned to Ceylon as its Governor. Caldecott was a writer of both histories, as in ‘History of Jelebu’ but is perhaps better known for his supernatural short story fiction in the collections ‘Not Exactly Ghosts’ and ‘Fires Burn Blue’. He received numerous honours for his services including a Knighthood and a GCMG (Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George) in 1941. Andrew Caldecott died on the 14th of July 1951 at Itchenor in Sussex. He was 66.
