Citation: Singapore. 1 Jan 1949 - 30 June 1949. Citation for BEM: This NCO was for a long time in sole charge of the S.I.B. Detachment, Malaya - by his efforts crime in that Area was capably and efficiently dealt with. He carried out many very involved and complicated enquiries, and most of them were brought to a very satisfactory conculusion. Some of these enquiries took this N.C.O. into the backlanes of Malaya, into areas which are now being patrolled by Civil Police and Military, but this Sgt. Always put his job first and himself and his safety second.Maj R B Sexton APM SIB. Col Godfrey Fawcett PM FARELF. Maj Gen GOCV Singapore District. National Archive WO 373/128
