Ronald Ernest Stephen Yeldham (18 August 1902–14 August 1983) was an Indian born army officer and cricketer.

Career

He served in Africa and the Indian Ocean from 1928 to 1945.[1][2] In June 1945, Yeldham was awarded the KBE, as temporary Colonel commanding the British troops in Mauritius.[3]

In 1949 Yeldham was a Principal in the Colonial Office, West African Department, and wrote a memorandum (16 March) on Soviet activity in Nigeria. There was MI5 surveillance of Harry Pollitt's contact with Mokwugo Okoye, a Zikist leader (Yeldham, memorandum in December of that year).[4] During the Malayan Emergency, in 1952, he was instrumental in the use of sodium trichloroacetate as a defoliant.[5]

Yeldham then held civil appointments in Kenya, from 1954.[6][7]

Cricketer

Yeldham played six first-class cricket matches in British India between 1925 and 1927, including one for the MCC.[8] He later played twice for Egypt against HM Martineau's XI.[9]
