Biographical history
Doreen Ingrams, the daughter of Edward Shortt MP, married Harold Ingrams (See RAS BMM/8) in 1930. She gave up a stage career to travel with him to Mauritius where he was a colonial administrator. In 1934, they moved to Saudi Arabia, travelling with him on his explorations and lived in Hadhramaut. During the war she helped with famine relief and medical care in the area, establishing the first bedouin girls' school. From 1955 she spent 12 years as a Senior Assistant in the Arabic Service of the BBC, and in 1972 she wrote "Palestine Papers 1917-1922: Seeds of Conflict".
