| Meer info | 'My Three Years In Manipur' only deals with Ethel's own experiences and therefore you cannot gain an overall view of the situation, but it does act as an invaluable account of life in N.E. India during this period. The Grimwood's quickly became very good friends with the Manipuri royal family and it was rumoured that both Ethel and Frank had extra marital affairs during their posting. A vindictive letter to the authorities in Calcutta, from Surchandra, stated that Frank was involved with dancing girls and servants, and that Ethel had affairs with both Kulachandra and Lieutenant Grant, who was stationed close to Imphal. As you will read, Frank was speared to death following a badly mauled operation by the Chief Commissioner to arrest the Princes involved in the coup. This led to Ethel's escape from the burning residency to safety. Once home, she was feted as a true English heroine. She was awarded the Red Cross Medal by Queen Victoria and was the toast of London society for a brief period. |
