In the 1990s John was actively involved with the reconstruction of religious and educational systems in CIS countries, particularly Russia and the Ukraine, but also the Czech and Slovak Republics.

Hugh was born in London on 6 December 1927 and attended Beaumont College before coming to King’s to follow the ArmyWartime Short Course and
play rugby for the College. He subsequently spent a year at Sandhurst before being commissioned in the Royal Engineers in 1948. He later obtained a BSc in Engineering from the University of London. After service in Korea, in the wake of the war there, Hugh was involved in the nuclear tests carried out on Christmas Island in 1957. He also served in Borneo before finishing his Army career as a test officer at the Military Engineering Experimental Establishment based in Dorset. Hugh also served a year as Honorary Secretary of the Royal Engineers Golfing Society. He retired from the Army in 1969. Hugh moved into civil engineering firstly with Norwest Holst, working at the British Steel works at Shotton, North Wales and then with Allott & Lomax, based in Manchester, where he stayed for 18 years until his retirement in 1990. In 1957 he had married Janet Middleton Stewart. Hugh died on 16 April 2004 and is remembered as a gallant man. ROGER WILLIAM SCOTT MALDEN (1947), brother of C C M (1953) and cousin of C P S M (1936) and F D S S M (1938), was born in July 1924.After Canford School Roger became a major in the Arab Legion and received the Jordanian Order of El Istiqlal. He then came up to King’s to read History. In 1949 he married his wife Genifer. From 1953 to 1957 he was Headmaster of Windlesham House School in West Sussex before emigrating to Rhodesia in 1958 where he took up farming. Unfortunately King’s has no further record of his life. He died in Rhodesia in 1978. BALDWIN HUGH GRENVILLE MALET (1948), cousin of KR Anderson (1948), was a waterways explorer, writer and teacher who played a pivotal role in rekindling interest in the canals of the British Isles through his travels and books. On board his 16-foot dory Mary Ann, Hugh explored the waterways of England and Ireland and became a well-known author. It is in part thanks to his efforts in raising awareness of the historic value of the waterways in the British Isles that they are now being preserved, a preservation which was in no way assured in the 1950s when Hugh started exploring them. 159 OBITUARIES
