| Citation: | New Years Honour. Citation for MBE, Hounslow April 1954 to present date: As Staff Captain SIB of Eastern Command, Captain GRISS has shown a devotion to duty and unbounded energy and enthusiasm far beyond the normal requirements of his military duties. In order to achieve the best results from his work it has been necessary for Captain GRISS to establish working relations with the Civil Police Forces, the officers of the Directorate of the Army Legal Services and the Royal Army Pay Corps. This he has achieved to a marked degree, which is reflected by the high regard which he is held by all his associates. He has conscientiously and painstakingly carried out numerous complicated investigations which have necessitated his working abnormally long hours; often well into the night recording statements from civilian witnesses who were not available at normal times. At all times he has shown a complete disregard for his own personal convenience. In order to present lucid and unbiased reports to his superiors it has been necessary for Captain GRISS, particularly in cases of suspected fraud and falsification of accounts, to carry out detailed and complicated background research. his completed reports invariably shown an unprejudiced and accurate picture of the matters under investigation, and have greatly facilitated the disposal of disciplinary cases within the Command. The numerous investigations which he has carried out have resulted in the recovery and saving of large amounts of both public and regimental monies, and his ready co-operation with Commanding Officers and unit adjutants has been a considerable factor in the maintenance of good discipline.Lieut Col A J P Ritchie MBE APM Eastern Command.
