Thank you Waldzee, your clues helped a lot. You're right Solf was an enlightened politician. My question would be, what was unusual about Solf's widow's tea parties?

Let's see if we can strat this quiz thread up again.

[A.W. Carson]

That would be Hauptmann von Raben at Mora in February. Or is that a trick question?

[Chris Dale]

Correct answer! Well done. It's your turn to post a question...

Who am I?

I was born in Nuremberg on November 27th 1875 and died on Kabakon (formerly German New Guinea) May 6th 1919. I spent 18 years on Kabakon and during that time I wore no clothes and ate nothing but coconuts.
