| Citation: | United Kingdom. Chester. Citation for BEM: CSM Angel has been with the 165 (HQ) Pro Coy for 4 years, during which time he has carried out his duties in an exemplary manner, and his loyalty and devotion to duty have been an example to all ranks both in this unit and outside it. He is highly efficient, takes the keenest interest in all the activities of this unit and is always well informed on all matters. He lives in Quarters at Company HQ and, at his own request, is called upon to answer any problem which may arise outside normal working hours. In a Military Police Unit, this is no small undertaking, but CSM Angel allows no personal for family considerations to interfere with his efforts to maintain the efficiency and good name of his unit. He maintains a high standard of discipline and will not tolerate any form of carelessness or laziness in work or behaviour. His loyalty to the Service and to his Officers is exemplary. Before joining this unit, CSM Angel held the local rank of RSM in order to instruct the RSM's of successive "Z" Reservist Provost Companies in their duties. He carried out his additional duty with tact and efficiency and all the Officers Commanding commended him for the excellent instruction and assistance he gave. CSM Angel is an expert on the practical side of all police duties, and had distinguished himself on numerous investigations. In 1950 he was commended by the Provost Marshal for his work in arresting a soldier who was masquerading in Naval uniform.Maj E V Crombie A & SH DAPM 165 (HQ) Pro Coy. Brigadier ?
