Sgt.Corps Order Book No.21 page 113.Despatch of Lt Gen G F Milne CB, DSO, Commanding British Salonika Army: I take this opportunity to bring to notice the excellent work performed by the Military Police. In an unaccustomed situation with troops of five allied nations, in addition to a mixed population their work has been very heavy and varied in character. At all times this has been performed with cheerfulness, zeal, and discretion and the method employed in the control of traffic and the movements of inhabitants had invariably proved effective.London Gazette 6/12/1916. |
