During the heyday of the British Empire it was common practice for Colonial offcials, Military Officers, missionaries and bussiness men to send their children back to the UK for their education. Asside from the benefits of not seperating children from their parents for years at a time what would have been the effect if once the health issues were delt with off educating these children in the colonies? Assuming given the advances in medical science that this trend began arround 1900 in all but the most disease ridden colonial possesions the generations of upper middle class children would have been born raised and educated in the colonies by the time decolonisation began.
