| Citation: | 23535487 Warrant Officer I David Moritmer House, RMP. Staff Assistant, HQ South East District. Nov 1977 - May 1978.Citation: Warrant Officer Class I House enlisted into the Corps of Royal Military Police in July 1957 and has subsequently served with the Corps in Malaya, Malta and Northern Ireoland. In the latter theatre of operations he was employed as the Training Warrant Officer and was responsible for maintaining the training standards of over 700 Royal Military Police personnel. In May 1976 he was posted to Aldershot as Staff Assistant, an appointment he is due to hold until the completion of his service in July 1979. In this role he is the only other military member of a busy staff branch commanded by the Assistant Provost Marshal, and in his absence is responsible for the running and efficiency of the branch and consequently the Military Police effort in South East District. In November 1977 the Assistant Provost Marshal was admitted to hospital and was not replaced on a full time basis until 22 May 1978. During this time Warrant Officer House accepted the additional responsibility willingly, and frequently had to advise others and make important decisions. Not only did he display unflagging zeal and energy but his outstanding example was an inspiration to others. his ability to deal confidently and expertly with all ranks enabled the branch to continue to function efficiently. He carried out work normally undertaken by a Grade I Staff Officer in addition to his own with complete satisfaction, often under considerable pressure, thus highlighting the outstanding calibre of this Warrant Officer. Almost single handed he has planned and coordinated the police support for this years British Army Equipment Exhibition and the Army Show. His ability to provide definitive information and sound advice has been widely acknowledged by formation staffs, civil police, and other units. Warrant Officer House by his unremitting application has always placed the interest of the service before his own, and has most worthily upheld the standards of his Corps.Recommended by: Maj. OC 160 Provost Company, RMP. Brig. Commander HQ Aldershot Garrison. Gen. Commander in Chief, UKLF |
