British Consul

British Consul

Duncan Graham's account of life among Surabaya's small British community (The Jakarta Post, Sept. 24) paints a vivid picture, but is inaccurate in two important details.

Firstly, the network of British consular wardens is alive and kicking, having been reinforced with a number of new recruits in the last month. Secondly, also alive and kicking is the British Honorary Consul in Surabaya -- I have had the honour of serving in the position for the last 12 months. Britons in distress in Surabaya continue to receive the appropriate assistance.
