* Recommendation for the award of the Military Cross to Lt. R.S. Clarke: "Lt. Clarke was an officer in No. 1 Column 3/2nd G.R. He had gone through the whole training with the Brigade and was therefore thoroughly educated in principles of Long Range Penetration. Following the death of his Company Commander in action on the Shweli on the 4th April, Lt. Clarke took over command of his Gurkha Rifle Company. In this responsible post he displayed determination, courage and resource. He brought his company successfully across the Irrawaddy although he was attacked while doing so. In skirmishes with the enemy on the way home he exerted himself to the utmost, exposing himself with disregard for personal safety, to keep his men steady and united. Although the column was broken up by the Japanese ambush in the MU Valley, thanks to the excellent work of Lt. Clarke and other officers the majority crossed the Chindwin in organised armed parties, a few days later." [Recommended by Brig. O.C. Wingate. commander 77th Indian Infantry Brigade.]

As Brigade Major, the ability and drive shown by Major Colquhoun throughout the period has been outstanding. Absolutely tireless he has proved himself cool and unruffled under the most trying circumstances. In the Myinmu bridgehead for instance he had practically no sleep for five days and nights. Even then despite lack of sleep and continual enemy shelling his staff work remained of the very highest order. The brigade has been in contact with the enemy since the 18th January. Amongst the major operations during this period in which the brigade took part on it's own were two outflanking movements in enemy occupied territory, one of 55 miles and the other of 85 miles, the establishing of the Myinmu bridgehead across the Irrawaddy and the 134 mile advance from Taungdwingyi to Wetppok. Throughout the varying circumstances of these operations Major Colquhoun's efficiency had been outstanding. Absolutely reliable and full of initiative and a large measure of the success of the brigade has been due to his untiring and inspiring work which has won the admiration of all ranks.	30.01.1936     commissioned, Unattached List (for Indian Army) 18.03.1937 commissioned, Indian Army (17th Dogra Regiment) 01.1939 - 09.1940 Company Officer, 2nd Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (Malaya) 10.1940 - 09.1942 Adjutant, 4th Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (NW Frontier, from 11.1941 Waziristan) 10.1942 - 01.1943 Second-in-Command, 4th Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (Waziristan) 02.1943 - 10.1943 Company Commander, 4th Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (Waziristan) 11.1943 - 12.1943 attached HQ Waziristan District 01.1944 - 05.1944 Staff College Quetta 06.1944 - 10.1944 Second-in-Command, 4th Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (Assam) 11.1944 - 12.1944 Second-in-Command, 17th/18th Dogra Regiment Training Unit (India) 01.1945 - 05.1945 Brigade Major, 100th Infantry Brigade (Burma) 10.1945 - 06.1946 Second-in-Command, 4th Battalion 17th Dogra Regiment (Indo China, from 02.1946 Celebes) 01.01.1949 - 29.08.1953 employed with Pakistan Armed Forces [Special List (ex-Indian Army)] 1955     served as Military Advisor in Aden after his appointment as Commanding Officer of the Close-Quarter Battle School, Quetta Immigration Officer, Home Office (Chief Immigration Officer at London Airport prior to his death).
