John Daniel Conway. Sergeant Madras Police. IPM. Gazette of India Extraordinary: 01Jan1934 page 31. 'These Officers took part in the operations against the hill tribes in the Kalyanasingapur Valley of the Vizagapatam Agency in January 1933. The operations involved camp life and hard marching day and night in very difficult country, and these officers rendered consistently good and ungrudging service in the face of all difficulties and inconveniences. The fine spirit of all six officers kept up the hearts of the men under their command and materially contributed to the complete success of the operations which have, it is hoped, ended a situation that has constituted a menace for several years. Together with two pages of research.
