This is an old 3-player game which you wouldn't find much information in the internet. Until now thanks to Fred Horn!

He sent me the following pictures accompanied with the following message:

And this 3 Player Game from Jaques & Sons in 2 shifts. I got the copied Rules from the Firm. I did sent the present Director, also a Jaques whom I met on BGS Oxford, a copy of the Board, because the Firm lost all their files in WW II. I only found the Board on a Church-fair, with 2 Pawns. Out of my reserves I was able to add the same Pawns for the 2 Player Game. The white Box is my own addition.

The next pictures are scans of the rules (click to enlarge)

[addendum] The game has patent GB 189324644 and a BGG entry.
