Rhodesian General Election 1970

Here is a Polling Station in the Mount Pleasant (Salisbury) constituency on polling day 10.4.70. Sitting with the ladies on the Rhodesian Front table is the candidate Rt. Hon. John Hartley (Jack) Howman, the Minister of Defence. He need not have looked so glum as he was safely returned to Parliament as part of the RF majority. Jack Howman was a signatory of the UDI in 1965 and a close friend of Ian Smith, both men having been born in Selukwe.
