On one occasion, when the enemy made a bombing attack on our trenches, your son carried himself with the utmost coolness and bravery. He threw his bomb to such good effect that his splendid conduct was largely responsible for frustrating the enemy’s attack. It was at this time that I myself so thoroughly appreciated his sterling qualities for his prompt and determined action, which completely inspired his comrades.” Lance Corporal Enticknap is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, Belgium.

Rare George VI Burma Police Medal Awarded to William James Barron District Superintendent of Police, Awarded for Service During the Mandalay Riots of 1938, bronze medal complete with its original ribbon and housed in red leatherette Royal Mint case of issue. Medal is named in the correct style “WILLIAM JAMES BARRON DIST SUPT OF POLICE”. Remains in very good condition.

He joined the service in 1921, held a variety of posts and gained wide experience. An officer of great physical courage and determination. A keen outdoor man and a good shot, keen on all kinds of field sports.” The report continues with details given by another officer, “I came to Burma with Mr Barron in 1921 on the same ship. His temperament which was most pleasant and normal in 1921 (and later in 1926 when I met him at home on leave), came to have become somewhat bitter in the course of the years but this did not detract from his general all round ability which was of high order, although it discarded sometimes a certain amount of forbearance on the part of colleagues and superiors. By his subordinates Mr Barron was held in great respect and awe, no one took and liberties with him. Mr Barron served with me as District Superintendent of Police when I was Deputy Commissioner, Mandalay in 1938. I cannot speak to highly of the magnificent work he did in the riots. His transfer from Mandalay on Political grounds embittered Mr Barron greatly. I recommended him for the Kings Police Medal but eventually after a lapse of 3 years he got only the Burma Police Medal – another disappointment”. William James Barron of Kineraig Greville Park Avenue Ashtead Surrey died 20th August 1944 at University College Hospital, Grafton Way, London WC1. The Burma Police Medal was instituted in 1937 and abolished in 1948.
