CITATIONS
He have been asked by the China Association (who are a respectable
organisation) whether we can supply any details of the citations for
awards to two elderly Pritish subjects resident in Shanghai. They are
Mrs Jonstance Martin, MEE, and Mr William McBain. 03. I believe these
honours were awarded around 1966
2. I should be grateful for some diluted citation (e.g. "for services to
the British community") which we could pass on to the China Association.

Mr. F.J. Roberts
I have checked our records for details of the awards made to Mrs. Martin
and Mr. McBain,
China Association Mrs. Martin received her M. B. E. in the Birthday 1963
ist and Mr. McBain received his 0.B.E. in the Birthday 1966 List.

In Mr. McBain's case the entry in the London Gazette read: "British
subject resident in China"; in re. Martin's case the entry was: "British
subject resident in Shanghai"
I am afraid that, except for awards for gallantry, details of citations
are never made available, even to the recipients themselves.
I have, however, looked at the citations for these two awards and find
that in each case they were given for services to the British community.
There would certainly be no harm in your passing this information to the
China Association.

(FEC 14/1)
Far Eastern Department,
31 March, 1970.
Thank you for your letter or 19 March about Mr. Arthur Taylor's appeal
to Chinese authorities on behalf of Mrs. Martin.
Mr. Taylor telephoned me this morning. I told him that we thought his
proposal kind-hearted and helpful, and gave him the address of the
Chinese office in London of Premier Chou En-lai. I added, however, that
in my opinion direct communications to other individuals in Shanghai or
Paking could indeed come to rest rather quickly in the wastepaper
basket, as he feared, and would hardly be effective as a means of
stimulating interest. And I fear that I may have dis- appointed Mr.
Taylor by suggesting that the Chinese poem he had selected to accompany
his appeal would probably strike addressess as dangerously
counter-revolutionary and that a choice quotation from the Thoughts of
Chairman Mao may be more acceptable!
