A BRITISH COLONIAL IN CEYLON THE LIFE OF GARRY SHATTOCK. – By HUGH KARUNANAYAKE<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\"HughEdgar Charles Evan Shattock \u00a0known to family and friends as Garry, was born to a family long associated with Ceylon \u201cs Mercantile Sector.\u00a0 Lee Hedges and Co founded in 1857 by WD Lee and JR Hedges was a plantation management company By 1880 the brother of the founding partner GAM Hedges became the sold partner. In 1896 Ernest Mark Shattock was taken as a partner of the firm.and by 1911 he was the sole partner having acquired the interests of his co-partner A.A. Hankey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ernest Mark Shattock\u00a0\u00a0 married\u00a0 Mabel, the daughter of Evan Byrde of the Ceylon Civil Service, a man reputed for his proficiency in the Sinhalese language.\u00a0 Mabel and Ernest lived in Colombo where through 15 years the couple had six children of whom Garry was the youngest. The children were educated partly in Ceylon in the Hilll School,Nuwara Eliya, and partly in England. Ernest died in 1920 at the age of fifty four, in his home in Surrey\u00a0 of Bright\u2019s disease<\/strong>. Mabel then married Charles Burns a colleague of Ernest at Lee Hedges and Co.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mabel and Charles lived in Doone Lodge in Nuwara Eliya where they had \u201ca retinue of servants enabling them to have many house guests and parties\u201d. Garry was studying in Lancing College in England and joined the family in Ceylon\u00a0 during his holidays. One day he returned home from a cycling adventure to find his step father dead, having blown his brains out. Family lore has it that \u201cthere was a big scandal but no one ever talked about \u201cit was a terrible business\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not very long after, Gary was progressing in his career at Lee Hedges where he was appointed Company Secretary in 1950 and later Director, and thereafter Chairman and Managing Director of the company after its merger with Shaw Wallaces to become Shaw Wallace and Hedges Ltd. Gary Shattock retired in 1969 to return to England with his family.In Colombo \u00a0they lived in Jawatte Road initially in a Company provided bungalow named \u201cMinster\u201d and subsequently in a larger home, also provided by the Company,on Jawatte Road closer to Bullers Road. Judy in her memoir refers whimsically to the pleasant walks down the treelined Bullers Road, and the tifffins and suppers she enjoyed at the Princes Club at the\u00a0 end of Bullers Road, her frequent trips to the Colombo Swimming Club, and Galle Face Hotel where she was a constant visitor for a swim. There was also a period of several months when the Shattocks lived on Vogan Estate, Kalutara as paying guests of\u00a0 Farquarson who was Manager.of Vogan Group,\u00a0 a 1800 acre rubber estate managed by Lee Hedges, and for some months Garry was commuting to work to Kollupitiya in his chauffer driven car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gary\u00a0 married Jean Barrington Gates the attractive daughter of Barry an internationally\u00a0 reputed aircraft engineer according to her daughter Judy from whom most of the family details have been extracted from her book \u201cJawatte Road\u201d published in 2017. Judy Shattock\u00a0\u00a0 the only surviving child of her parents describes in a very evocative style her life, growing up in Ceylon and her dislike for\u00a0 those compulsory visits to England for education. Her heart wrenching recapitulations of her loneliness and yearning to be with her father and family are beautifully expressed in her book from which I have extracted a great deal of information about the family. Judy\u2019s mum while being a very attractive woman was apparently somewhat promiscuous\u00a0 in her behaviour often causing her father to make unflattering remarks on her behaviour. Judy states in her book \u201cJawatte Road\u201d:<\/em> \u201cAmong my papers is a long stern letter written by my grandfather to Jean on the subject of men, suggesting that she had little taste, accusing her of being promiscuous, of playing sex games, of having too many boy friends,and advising her to think of other people\u2019s feelings\u201d!! She seemed to be equally single minded in her general outlook to life which apparently caused her early death from dysentery. She apparently did not follow the family rule of using boiled water for drinking and even to brush teeth, and thus leading to a premature death\u00a0 leaving behind a husband and two daughters Nicola and Judy. Nicola was given birth aided with forceps which apparently caused\u00a0 damage to her brain, leading to epilepsy which besieged her during her young life, cruelly compounded by living in institutional care both in Ceylon and in England where she was lodged in a Home for children with special needs, but away from her family and friends. Judy her younger sister\u00a0 was very sad of the manner in which her sister had to endure during her short life.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the death of Jean, Gary married Jocelyn who was a benevolent companion to Judy and life in Colombo was becoming enjoyable. Garry\u00a0 was now a Director of the Company and was able to relegate his old Morris Minor to history, and \u00a0enjoying the perks of Directorship including a chauffer driven company provided motor car.\u00a0 All the while however Gary was besieged by chronic asthma for which at the time there was no known cure other than managing its effects through constant inhalation through a puffer. The chronic asthma condition affected his countenance although he was a very gregarious person without any affectations. His daughter Judy simply adored him, and was distraught when she was sent to school boarding first in Nuwara Eliya, and later in England. Judy believed that her father\u2019s inability to complete both his schooling as well as the premature end to his\u00a0 Cambridge university education was due to his asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the face of all the personal adversities he faced, Garry led a life typical of the British expat Company Director. Annual holidays either in Bentota, Passekudah, Nuwara Eliya, and Yala creamed with a holiday in England every three years, was a dream career that any Ceylonese would have aspired to. Few however were aware of the inner demons he was battling \u00a0all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edgar Charles Evan \u00a0Shattock retired to England in 1968. He passed away at home on 17 August 1986 deeply mourned by his daughter Judy, and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

His funeral notice copied from a London newspaper, appears below.<\/span><\/p>\n
