Harold Ingrams

William Harold Ingrams, (3 February 1897 – 9 December 1973) was a British colonial administrator who served in Zanzibar, Mauritius, the Aden Protectorate (1934-1945), the British Zone in post-WW2 Germany (1945-1947), and the Gold Coast. He is best known for his posting in Mukalla, together with his wife Doreen, where he oversaw the Hadhramaut region and brokered a truce between feuding tribes known as "Ingrams' Peace".

For their pioneer work in Southern Arabia Harold and Doreen Ingrams were awarded jointly the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society (1940) and the Lawrence Memorial Medal of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs (1939) - the only time either organisation offered a joint award.
