Major, Bihar and Orissa Police) and War Medal 1939-45 (privately engraved in running script Maj. F. Morgan, M.B.E., I.A.). MBE London Gazette 8th June 1939 "Honorary Deputy Superintendent of Police and Principal, Constables' Training School, Angul, Cuttack District, Orissa." I.P.M. Gazette of India 2nd January 1933. "This officer joined the police from the British Army as a Sergeant in June 1910. During the Bakd-Id of 1911, he was posted to Fatwa in Patna District with a small force of armed police. Throughout the kurbani day he was engaged in controlling a riotous mob of about 2,000, which threatened to burn houses and destroy property. After several critical incidents he was eventually able to disperse the mob without firing. His calm control and determined attitude were instrumental in preventing a serious riot. In 1911 he received the Durbar Medal for service in connection with the Royal visit. On this occasion his duty was to guard the royal train whist at Patna. During the (1st World) War he served with distinction in Mesopotamia and elsewhere and was mentioned in despatches and gazetted from the I.A.R.O. with the rank of Lieutenant. In 1921 he received the thanks of His Excellency the Governor for good work done during the visit to Patna of the Prince of Wales. The same year, whilst with the Mounted Military Police, he did excellent work during the Jamshedpur strike. In 1923 he was awarded a gold watch by the Government for services during the serious Arrah floods: 'Sergeant-Major F. Morgan of the Mounted Military Police was on duty from dawn of the 19th August. In spite of the complete loss of his personal property through the collapse of his house, he stuck to his work assisting in the rescue of the Mission and the residents of Maulabagh and Pahri by boat. Throughout the period he kept his command well under control and maintained a high standard of discipline which was rendered possible by the initiative and devotion to duty which he displayed in a marked degree.' Although knowing that disaster had overtaken property which represented his savings during his long and faithful service to the Government, he worked whole-heartedly and cheerfully for the rescue and relief of the public. Since April 1928, with an interval as Deputy Superintendent at the Patna Camp Jail, he has been employed as Instructor at the Police Training College, Hazaribagh. During this period he has been responsible for maintaining a very high standard of smartness and efficiency. He has been specially mentioned six times in the Annual Administration Report." In addition to the Delhi Durbar 1911 Medal mentioned in the citation, Frank Morgan would have qualified for First World War medals and probably for further Second World War medals. |
