KM1 1926 Nigeria

Here is the card of KM1, G.C. Wilmot, the first radio operator from Nigeria. He was Captain of the 1st Battalion of the Nigeria Regiment of the British Army. He would later use the call sign FN2C then became ZD2A in 1931. The card was sent to F8GM Chaye Dalmar. Although the card is not dated it is probably from 1926 or 1927 as all the cards I obtained are from that time frame. I believe Mr. Wilmot held the call signs 2OO (Ebrington Barracks, Londonderry) & 6WT (Sefton Park, Liverpool) at home in the U.K.
