The Colonial Service is not only the longest-lived of Britain’s three pre-eminent overseas civil services under examination here, it is also by far the largest. On the other hand, while there is no room for argument over the exact dates of the life of the ICS, 1858–1947 (allowing for historians of bureaucracy to trace the pre-Crown continuities in administrative structure and system from the East India Company’s Civil Service), and a largely academic question mark of no more than a matter of months hangs over the exact calendar of the Sudan Political Service, 1899–1955, both the beginning and the end of the Colonial Service are shrouded in indeterminacy
