Commissioned as an Intelligence Officer
1st February 1942
As described by Richardson in his diary:
Had an interesting day. To Military Head Quarters, Sime Road. Pollock and I up for commission as Lieutenants, Intelligence Corps. To Fort Canning to see Major Anderson (D.A.C.) who gave us letter to F.M.S.V.F. regarding discharge, effective immediately and we are now almost in Intelligence Corps. Met Horseley who predicted Fall of Singapore in two weeks. Subsequent events proved him right.
2nd February 1942
Both Walter Pollock and James Richardson were formally commissioned, after formalities of medical examination, as Intelligence Officers at Malaya Command Headquarters.
Their role was to undertake liaison duties with the regular forces owing to their local knowledge of Malaya and their proficiency with the Malay language.
