A lovely photo I thought. Would be nice to get their badge.

Hi Khyber,
Yes a splendid photo indeed. Any idea what the badge would look like? Cheerio, Roy |

Here it is. Taken from elsewhere on the forum. There were Sikhs on the force, so maybe one will turn up for me in India :)

Hi Khyber,
Thanks for that mate, a lovely looking badge. Keep your eyes peeled and if you do find one be sure to post some pics. Cheerio, Roy |
Ku Lang Su Municipal Police
Just to add a bit more spice to the search for this elusive badge ; the Indians (Sikhs),of whom there were a maximum of 30 at any one time,are always depicted wearing the very large turban,sans badge.If they had one,it would have born a Pin and Loop or Spike fastener.
There were only a few chinese in the force,they were Interpreters and detectives so not in the loop.The Post of Captain Superintendent was filled by a European,ex Army ( Berkely-Mitchell later Roland Bass),they obviously had a badge or two. And just to muddy the waters further,on the mainland opposite Ku Lang Su there was the AMOY Municipal Police,a similar outfit to KLS.The Capt Supt was F H Edwards,but I have never come across an example of the A.M.P badge.Both Units disintegrated on the Japanese occupation and were not revived.Bass escaped to serve in WW2. |
