A glance over the annual report, of the Council for the past few years will show numerous instances of the bravery of the Sikh policeman in the pursuit of his duties. For example:—
"Sikh Constable No, 254 Badhawa Singh awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, Class LI, and a reward of $200 for courageous conduct in breaking up a gang of farmed robbers," and again, "Sikh Police Constable No. 104, Mehraj Singh, awarded the police Distinguished Service Conduct Medal, Class 11, for great courage and determination in capturing an armed robber after he hed himself been severely wounded."
And so the record goes. The Sikh policemen have proved themselves ever ready and gallant when the call of duty comes and the Settlement is no less indebted to them than to their gallant comrades, the Chinese police, for their long and honourable service in Shanghai.
