Apparently Commended by HE Governor in 1947 ( circumstances unknown), OC Adminstration at PTS in 1948.Awarded CPM 8.6.1950, Coronation Medal in 1953, Queens Police Medal 1967.Promoted to Assisstant Supt in 1954 and Supt in 1957.Photo shows him as Senior Supt ( Bath Star surmounted by Crown ) in winter working dress.
'1314' spot on re.Mr FONG's 'firsts'-possibly I was the 'first' 'trainee Insp'(at Police Training School/Oct 1966) to receive a 'two week confinement to school' from him-for breaches of school discipline.Taught me early on what was the 'correct way'-helped me no end,and I had the opportunity to tell him so a year or two later....
