Notes
Born in Derry, Charles Tegart abandoned his studies in TCD, to join the Indian Police. A keen linguist and master of disguise, Tegart frequently met his contacts at night, dressed in turban and beard as a Sikh taxi driver. He survived multiple assassination attempts. Later his work took him to War of Independence Ireland and Palestine.
