When New Zealand adventurer Bill Latimer got the chance to work in Africa in 1952 he jumped at it. He and mate George had been travelling around the world in search of adventure when they hatched a plan to go to Africa. In London and after a few obstacles, they managed to get jobs through the Union Corporation working in South Africa. In 1953 Bill then signed up for a permanent job with the Northern Rhodesian Public Works Department in Lusaka. This was a job that suited him well, travelling throughout Northern Rhodesia in a Land Rover with a work force of natives and living rough.

With a permanent job and marriage on his mind Bill wrote to his Australian pen friend Alice proposing she come to Africa and marry him. As Alice had only seen Bill in person for less than a week it was perhaps surprising that she agreed!
