Captain Superintendent of Police

An extremely active and able officer, tactful and very popular with the men without in any way losing his hold over them. He has a good knowledge of Chinese, as well as Hindustani (both Urdu and Punjabi) and has an expert knowledge of the system of identification by finger prints. He is a candidate for transfer if sufficient inducement is offered. He has a good aptitude for dealing with Indian Police work.

I consider he would give satisfactory service in any post to which he might be appointed.

Confidential Report

Apart from myself, he has been doing a good deal of confidential Indian work in connection with the Sikh movement in the Far East, which I think has been appreciated.

He completed a short term of duty as CSP. While there, he did alright.

He has been ADC to the Governor in addition to his job.

Career History

First clerk in Registrar-General's office, Hong Kong, 1907; Clerical Officer, 1909; Assistant Superintendent of Police, 1901; transferred to Punjab Police, 1901-3; passed in Urdu, 1902; passed in Punjabi, 1908; frequently employed as Deputy Superintendent of Police, in which appointment he was confirmed in 1914.

Salary

£800 - £30 + £30 duty allowances and quarters.

Character Assessment

"Lacks force of character and more than an average... I consider is that he is fitted for the charge of a special office of a very large Dept. He has no... much to have to report thus on a charming personality"

"brains and good moral character".

Go May.

PEL Agh (in 1910). Educated at Elizabeth College, Hong Kong. Joined Police, 1900.
