Rather surprisingly, David Treagust, the Principal of Unity High School at this time doesn't appear to have known much about the history of the school. On the first page, under background information, Treagust has stated that the school was founded in 1905 by the Anglican Bishop of Khartoum. He is wrong on both counts. The school was in fact founded in 1928 by the Bishop of Egypt and Sudan.

An Email Received from Razan Elshazili of @womenofsudan Instagram Account - 5th August 2020

Hello,   Hope you are well. My name is Razan Elshazali, and I'm the owner of @womenofsudan on Instagram. I used to go to Unity High School as a student, however, I do not think we ever crossed paths. I just wanted to thank you infinitely for your work on the UHS archives. It makes me so happy knowing our vast visual history is preserved, digitalised and easily accessible.

Although it was originally decided to honour the request of Charles Bonsall not to publish his correspondence in full so as to protect Pat Clague's reputation, this decision was reversed when it was discovered that Bonsall's testimony could not be fully relied upon and that he had lied over his signing of the 1995 Trustee appointing letter, which can be found here: A Letter Purporting to be From a Meeting of the Trustees in Which New Trustees Were Appointed - 7th June 1995 . Any future correspondence between Dr Marina and Charles Bonsall will be added here as it becomes available.
