as they were unfit, not in the physical sense, to be members
I tackled the latter on this matter and he
of the Folice Force.
admitted same to me. In fact they were sent about their business.
The latter should consider himself very lucky indeed that he was
ever allowed to return to Hong Kong, for whilst in Internment Camp
his conduct, in common with other Superintendents left much to be
desired, and any disgrace added to the name of the Police Force
can safely be attributed to their conduct. He and H.".HEATH were
taken "up the hill" to the Japanese Headquarters allegedly for
"Black Market" activities and corporal punishment inflicted in a
nature as one would punish a misbehaved child, (removed their pante)
to inflict the punishment. Hardly the type of people to consider
the future life of anyone under their care.
I submit that the refusal by Colonial Office to entertain
their suggestion has not deterred them, for since their return
it has not taken long for them to wreak their vengeance.
In the passing I would like to inform you that I possess
an Internment Camp "Black Market" book of Police Superintendent
LUS COMBE who was in the same clique as WILSON. This book shows
his dealings in currency and jewellery. Their conduct really left

One other Inspector whoreceived this promotion was the
present Chief Detective Inspector WILLIAMSON, who, also while in the
Camp wae in charge of one of the communal vegetable gardens. One
day when returning from work he was stopped by Mr. "). WILSON,
civilian, who was in charge of all communal gardens and questioned about vegetables he had in his possession which had not been turned in for communal purposes, he, WILLIAMSON, failed to give an explanation, in fact refused to do so, by his failure to do so was told by Mr. WILSON that he would no longer be employed on the communal gardens until he gave a satisfactory ans wer. The cessation of hostilities caused the matter to be dropped for Disciplinary Action (Camp) was intended. I point this out as being yet another example of "consideration by the so called Promotion Board, perhaps no fault of WILLIAMSON's to be so promoted, but certainly he, with the others mentioned should not have received consideration while
"
more honest and capable men were serving.
