REU 26
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 27th. February, 1919.
303.82/16.
My Lord,
With reference to Sir F. H. May's Despatch
Confidential of the 12th. May, 1916, I have the honour to
inform Your Lordship that Mr. F. C. Jenkin, C.B.E., Deputy
Superintendent of Police (Reserve) recently submitted through the Captain Superintendent of Police the enclosed form of
Certificate which he suggested might be issued to Members of
the Police Reserve, when the time arrives for them to be
released from duty.
2.
The Captain Superintendent of Police
considers the suggestion a good one provided the services
rendered are faithfully recorded, and I concur with him. It is proposed that the Governor's name should be printed on the Certificates, but I am inclined to think that it would be
better to omit the Governor's name altogether and insert the
words "By Order".
3.
The matter is, however, one on which I
should like to have your instructions and I, therefore,
submit it for your consideration.
HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
I have the honour to be, My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Officer Administering the Government.
VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,
