How employed AAG, PM 1. the War Office.Citation: Lieutenant-Colonel WILKINSON has now held the appointment of AAG, PM 1, The War Office, for three years. His work has been of a high order at all times and has necessitated long office hours. The Provost Marshal has to spend a great part of the year on tour and during these times and has necessitated long Office hours. The Provost Marshal has to spend a great part of the year on tour and during these periods Lieutenant-Colonel WILKINSON has the responsibility of answering for him and of attending conferences and taking important Corps decisions on his behalf. These responsibilities, which are above those normally borne by an AAG for such extended periods, he has shouldered in an exemplary manner. The fact that he has not had the advantage of a proper staff training makes the results he has achieved even more creditable. He has a very keen sense of duty, never gets flustered and, what is of particular importance when he is answering for the Provost Marshal, he has the complete confidence and respect of all senior officers in the Corps of Royal Military Police. During the Suez Emergency he worked for long hours under great pressure and had to make many important decisions on his own initiative. He is one of the most experienced Provost Officers in the Army and as a result is often able to give invaluable advice on a variety of subjects.Recommended by: Brig. P H Richardson, DSO, OBE, PM, and Maj/Gen. Director of Peersonal Services, War Office. |
