BATTLE HGNGURS.

Hy Cliff Rogers

May I reply to your correspondent Pe-ter Silk on this subject. Of course any-one can challcngc Inc 0111 Bny sub lecton which I write, With a readershipsuch as tl'lc Outpost s this is inevitableand to be welconlcd. However I feelthat Pctcr Is fBlklng fronl his hcarf, IUld

C] At no tinle during my service in theregiment duling training and afterwardsdtd I once hear nlcnf lou of 8 battlehonour, ln most legiments they make 8point of instilling matters such as battlehonours into their recruits and CIodhelp anyone who cannot recite them !

D] Anthony Baker's excellent book"Hattle Honours of'the British k Com-nlonwcalth AI'lnlcs lists the honoUfsfol' 811 awards to Soufhc111 RhodcsIBB,Northern Rhodesian, Hechuanaland,NyasRliulri Rn(l SOUth Afrfcall Units bUt

E] The Headquarters and 50% nile wasstill in operation as with the Anglo-Hoer War and would have countedagainst thc award Bs with all fcgulRfunits who did not Ineet thisrequirement,

F] The battle honours for WWI were

finalised by Army Council Order No55 of'February 1924, The BSAP ban-ner was sent to the UK for repair in thesame year and if it was a "Colour" ?and the honour had been awarded itwould be logical for the honour to beenlbroidered in the course of thisrepair. The banner has no honour em-broidered thereon.

The War Office Files show that oncethe criteria for the award of honourswere laid down the final decision waspassed back to the Dominions to inakethe final selection of units. I have notfound this list for South Africa, whichwould also have covered SouthernRhodesia at that tinle.

Given the facts as listed above is this acase we, as trained policemen, wouldtake to Court?Is there a reader with knowledge of thissubject who can offer proof that thehonour was bestowed?

It was B hallowed tfadltlon In thc4oi'cc thrll Ir lng I'dwIIrd VII had beenpic ised to niafk his appreciation of theservices of the HSAP in the Hoer War

by confemng upon the Corps the statusof a Regiment and by the presentationto it of a Regimental Colour. The'Colour' was presented by Lord Milnerat Mrafeking on 5 October 1904, andfor nearly twenty years afterward itwas afforded all honours due to suchregimental icon. However when„be-cause of its dilapidated state, a replace-ment was sought prior to the 1937Coronation, in the resulting negotia-tions the Army Council ruled: ".theflag presented to the British South Af-rica Police in 1904 was a banner. . .

" Itwas not, after all, a Colour. Deeplyoffended, the BSAP tended to regardthis as but another example of perfidi-ous albion, [Nevertheless, it was as aColour or Standard that the Banner waslast paraded - in review before HerMajesty the Queen Mother - in Salis-bury on 30 May 1960, Thereafter, untilthe regiment's demise in 1980, it waslodged in a place of honour in theOAicer's Mess in the Police Depot]"%hen scrvlllg Bs Inspcctof Ordnance BtPGHQ, D/Comm Bailey commissionedme to research battle honours for theCorps with a view to placing them on anew regimental colour [based on Rho-desia's Green A, %hite] which I was todesign. This I did and came to the sameconclusions, obviously, as Cliff Rogers.It was my view, however, that beingindependent and, shall we say, es-tranged from the Hrits and the Britishway of doing things, that there was noreason why we shouldn't do our ownthing and have the Battle Ifonours:Matableland, Mashonaland, SouthAfiica, Rhodesia (Zambezi Valley etc.)awarded to us by our own Govermnent.This was agreed in principle.

by 6813This happened during my last posting-Inspector Recruiting and L.iaison, Matahe-

leland Province, early 1980 or thereabouts.

I was in daily contact with a fellow from

the Bulawayo Chronicle on mundane press

releases, you know what I mean, "A police

spokesman said, confirmed, denied"- that

sort of thing.

I riend I'eogh got hold of me one fine

morning and claimed that the Central Po-lice Pub was haunted and he had the scoopand so could he print it. In my usual cor-rect manner I assured him that I would

have to clear this I.ut I agreed that it would

certainly add colour to the dreary world we

were living in and I did not envisage harm

I0 0u f 1nl age.

My first contact was - heavens should I

reveal it now, cops honour and all ",

anyv, ay it was tall Hoppy Hopkins, a

snooker ace and frequenter of the said pub

Not only did he confirm the story but he

had also caught the spook. Hoppy assuredme that his leaders Mike Lindley and PeterHuson had fiill knowledge and that he had

had assistance from the Bulawayo Museum

to capture this apparition

Other sources and patrons of the pub con-firmed and earnestly believed„yes, an evil

demon resided behind the bar and if youstayed till last call on stormy dark nights-not many did - you could hear thistroubled, tormented soul thrash aboutsomewhere behind the bar, Many boldtroopers ventured to capture the spook but

all failed until Hoppy decided that it wastime to bring an end to the copscapades ofthe thing, Bar losses were up, not in theliquid beverage tally but in the miscellane-

ous - crisps and Mars bars - and I/C Cen-

tral held sleuth Hoppy responsible or else.

%Veil„ the Museum provided a steel traplarge enough to capture the Hound of theBaskervilles. Baited correctly, sure enough

the next morning the 'Copscabana Spook'was there, behind bars, in all his glory. Itwas a monster of a cane rat, and this fellow

had obviously sneaked past the A/C on the

gate and, exhibiting good taste, took up

lodgings at the nearest inn,

To agree to the release of such a storyappealed to the irresponsible side of me

and I did so without further reference toanyone. Whys I was a decision-maker aswell, Only crisis matters get referred up the

line.

Next day dawned like any other and I was

at the ofHce bright and early and lookingout over the hockey pitch and Mat ProvHQ, I could see my leader's office fromwhere I sat, I' ll admit to having hadthoughts of occupying his post one dayThe cadet brought my tea from Mrs Hussey

and my Sarge was very interested in the

Page I'3

front page of the Chronicle. My first recruithopeful arrived at 8.00am sharp and ininterview I understood that his reason forwanting to be a Majoni was that he could"wear the uniform which is like trees".

The phone rang with an ominous tone andI was catapulted into the reality of theposition and office that I held by the graceof' the Commissioner in a very fewsentences. There was no nicety in the voiceI I'ccognlscd Instantly, and to boot Inyleader had the handle of "Fearless" amongus lesser types. I won't digress. The word-ing ol his chastisement went somethinglike this "What were you thinking ot'",I-lave you seen the front page of theChronicle) Think. of the health implica-tions alone - are our stations infested byfatso' I don't care what kind of rat it is. Arat is a dirty rat. Do you know who is in

town today~ I meet Deputy CommissionerDenley in half an hour, I do not want to bein your shoes when this hits the fan. I' ll

deal with you later. Not since Sue sat onSanta's lap has there been such a faux pas.

"

When I recovered from this blast, I calledf'or my paper. There, occupyifig most of thetop halt' ol the front page„appeared theimage ol' this over-sized joke of a guinea-pig. To illustrate the size of the beast itdwarfed a I.ions matchbox placed beside it.Oh man! I was in trouble deep

Strangely my day improved and my phonerang contll1UoUsly. OAIccrs ai1d lankcl's

alike were congratulating me on a fine

story, Why was I so uncomfortable aboutbasking in the glory". EIeavy rests the

head that wears the crown, you might say.Well my head did not roll and my leader

Jl(/ speak to mc agBln Othcf cvcnts pUt;inend to my press liaison career and in

retrospect, maybe I did have a flair for it.(I'hat's my version and I'm sticking to it)

INVESTIGATIONTECHNIQUES

Before the arrival of DNA comparison andfacial mapping policemen like us relied onmore Iundamental skills to crack cases, bethey Inurder or petty theft. This is illus-trated in 3749 Stanley Edwards' story ofthe solving of poultry thefts in Mrewa in

the days when he was stationed at Mtoko.

"We are all familiar with the door-to-doorvendors ot chickens carried in a basket otmsasa cuttings bound with bark rope, oftenon a bicycle carrier. Camped for the nightin the bush, the vendors would release theirchickens at sundown, feed them a fewgrains and give them a short break tostretch their cramped legs and scratcharound free range. As darkness fell thehens would scramble back into their cageto spend the night sal'e from any prowlingjackal.

One of our A. P. dropped in on one ol'theovernight encampments of Atricans travel-ling on foot and bicycle to their homes inNyasaland. He observed that one suchflock, on release, had taken to the treeswhere they obstinately remained. Theywere obvious strangers and 1'urther exami-nation showed that they were not the oldkraal huku A conviction followed and theMrewa poultry thet'ts ceased. Bright boy !

IIC saidto himself that surely the thief wouldbe afraid to touch the goat's back be-lieving it would bleat and give himaway, Therefore the one man whosehand did not smell would be the thief,

During the Saturday evening andullllg OUf tl'Ip to Pclth, IllUch talk of

days gone by and recalling incidentsboth good and bad passed away thetime.

The meeting consisted of PalestinePolice, Venya Police, Hong VongPolice, Northern Rhodesia and our-selves from B.S.A.P. This has been theformat for some time now as the num-bers are dwindling with the passage oftime. It is 52 years since thc PP wasdlsbanrlcd, Bnd thc olgBnlscl' was Bn 85years young. There were approxi-mately 100 people present.

A more than adequate Ineal wasserved followed by a raf lie with about16 prizes, of which about 14 were abottle of whisky, much mingling andrenewing of old friendships followeduntil everyone went home about5,30pm,

Wc occupied thc cvcn lug byv;atching the TV programme on Zim-babwe featuring "You can't move meMugabe". It was interesting to see Pe-ter Hain M. P. who has done a U turnand now is not best of friends withMugabe (we told him in the seventiesthat he was wrong).

arrived, our appetites prompted us tochallenge the inanagement for the carddid not specify "or" between dishes, sowe ciaiined that we were entitled to eateverything listed, The august Head%Biter presented himself for confirma-tion of' this outrageous demand butCOUI«l not «Icny thBt wc had 8 CBsc!

The first of the four soups went downwell enough, followed by the otherthree. I hen a succession of fish. Maincoul'scs kept conllng bcfofc we went onto the desserts. Our table was in theccntrc of thc «lining r«)onl Bnd whatwith the consumption of rul apparentlyendless supply of wine, our party wasInerry in anyone's language. It was anevening to remember!

I he axe that we expected to fall amvedw'Ith the bill. Presented bv the samegrave Head 9'Biter we found that thefoo«1 was with fhc conlpllnlcnts of thcIlotel! All our wine had been paid forby the other diners around us! Without

our knowing it, the staff had circulatedour challenge to the Ilotel and ourpi'ogress hB«1 been thc centre of enter-tainment for the whole room!

No doubt Meikles could have sunk usbv supplying excessively large helpingseach time, but it Is 8 sign of their goodhun)oUr that they tl'cBtc«1 us so well,I cl'haps It was 8 sign, too, of thc stBnd"ing that the I'orce enjoyed in thoselong-ago days. It is certainly sonie-thing I shall never forget.

QUEEN MOTHER' SBIRTHDAY PARADE

Yes we were there! For those whowatched the ITV coverage we cameaAer the Friends of the Imperial WarMuseum and just in front of'the RoyalBritish Legion, It was a very long daystarting with a walk through at 9.30am,interrupted by a bomb alert, a dressI."cheai sal at 1.30pnl an«l fhc real thingat 4.30pm. Marching in step was some-what dIAicult, as we had to avoid drop-pings from various quadrupeds includ-ing camels„sheep and horses along theway. Sanctuary was finally found in theTrafalgar Bar at the Victory Club atabout 7,45pnl where thirsts and sorefeet were well slaked accompanied bythe pipers of the Gurkha Reginlent. Itwas a privilege and an honour to beable to represent "'The Regiment" atthis unique occasion. Evidence of ourattendance will be displayed at the din-ner at Peterborough. Those on paradewere: Brian C)ibbs, Mike Leach, Dick()lanvillc„Tlnl %CIIncr, Pctcf Phlllps,Cliff Rogers, Jim Hazlett and AlanI olns Vuln 8 Kye

It was Friday the 19'" May and 43 ofthe Faithful obeyed the summons to theVictory Services Club for the ACJM.Strangely not all found their wayunemngly to the private bar. A numberstrayed into the committee room,requiring members of that augustgroup, 'The Committee', to interruptproceedings to redirect the lost andcon fused.

Preliminary socialising at the bar(when all eventually managed to gatherthere) was transformed into thecustomary pattern of the ACJM, withChairman Brian Gibbs presenting hisannual report. He paid richly deservedtribute to several, including0 Our Almoner, Bill EarleO Adrienne Gibbs for her work in

producing the Outpost, and to MikeColeman for distributing it

At election time we were all relievedthat Brian Gibbs and Peter Phillipsoffered themselves for re-election;these offers were, needless to say,accepted promptly without the slightestquibble. John Martin*s election to theCommittee to replace Mike Plant wasequally rapid and smooth.

In a poignant moment Maureen Paineeloquently expressed her appreciationfor the kind and sympathetic assistanceafforded to her through the Associationon the occasion of the death of herhusband 4382 Jim Paine in July lastyear.
