He enlisted in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, afterwards transferring to the Corps of Military Police. He has served as a Sergeant in 173 HQ Pro Coy, RMP since Oct 1944. During most of this period he has been the Senior Sergeant in the Company; he has therefore on numerable occasions and for considerable periods, had to undertake the duties of RSM and CQMS. Both these duties he has carried out very satisfactory at all times.
