thereon of Commodore A.M. Peters, D.S.C., R.N,
2.
It gives me great pleasure to have read the
Commodore's high appreciation of the valuable services
rendered by the Reserve and Force to the Imperial War effort
and to endorse his commendations of the efficiency and zeal
of the officers and men of the two forces and of the devotion
of Commander J. Petrie, D.S.C., commanding the Hong Kong
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and the Hong Kong Naval
Volunteer Force, to his arduous duties, in the performance
of which he has attained conspicuous success.
3.
I recently discussed with Commander Petrie the
question raised in the seventh paragraph of the Commodore's
letter. He was told that the war-made demands upon the
Civil Service were such that I could hold out no hope of
more members of the Service who hold commissions in the
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve or Naval Volunteer Force
being available for mobilization
-
fourteen were mobilized
in the early months of the war and eleven are still on

LORD LLOYD OF DOLOBRAN,
