p.s. Ian Peter Hyde was born on 25 August 1927, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Hyde of Walsall, Staffordshire, and served during the final months of the Second World War in the Royal Marines. He joined the Federation of Malaya Police as a Lieutenant on 21 June 1951, and proceeded to Penang, where he soon found himself involved in the Malayan Emergency. Police Lieutenants were especially recruited from among British service personnel to lead jungle squads used for flushing out communist guerrilla forces in the jungle. It was a difficult and hard job and policing at its worst. However, for someone who had just finished in the Royal Marines and who was looking for further employment, the task suited Hyde perfectly. Appointed Second in Command of the Sungei Bakap Jungle Company, he was leading an eight-man jungle squad patrol in the Badak Mati Hills in Province Wellesley, Penang, on the occasion of his gallant action on 12 April 1952, where he saved his patrol from being wiped out, and for his gallantry was awarded the George Medal by General Sir Gerald Templer, High Commissioner of the Federation of Malaya, at Kuala Lumpur on 19 December 1952. Following Malaya’s Independence, he joined the Royal Hong Kong Police in November 1957 as Inspector of Police, and served with great distinction for seventeen years before retiring in 1975, having been advanced to Superintendent of Police. His outstanding service in Hong Kong was recognised through the awards of the Governor’s Commendation in 1960, the Commissioner of Police’s Commendation in 1965, and the Colonial Police Medal for Meritorious Service in 1974. He died on 11 July 2012.
