The impact of the Second World War on African communities has remained a neglected theme in the colonial history of the continent. In studies published in recent years a good deal of attention has tended to focus on the political, social and economic impact of the war on the continent as a whole,1 on particular regions2 or individual colonies.3 Where in-depth studies have been made, they have focused on such themes as the impact of the war on returned soldiers,4 and its consequences for the development of nationalism.5 Few studies have yet been made of the impact of the war on a particular community, where both oral and archival data can be used to illuminate the consequences of the war on farmers, traders and women and children left behind by the soldiers, at the grassroots level
