| Citation: | Citation for the CBE: Brigadier Wieler has given unsparingly of effort to keep the Corps of Royal Military Police and Military Provost Staff Corps at a high pitch of efficiency. He has had an uphill struggle against shortages both of officers and other ranks; but, morale has not fallen and the standard has been maintained and this is due, in no small part, to Brigadier Wieler's enthusiasm and determination. British Military Police have a world-wide reputation and have been accepted as a pattern by other countries. Brigadier Wieler has worked and is still working at high pressure to maintain and if possible enhance that reputation. He demands a high standard in every respect and is, in himself, an outstanding example to a Corps on which the Army is so dependant. He is fully deserving of the award for which he is recommended.Maj Gen Director of Personal Services. National Archive WO 373/157. |
