Class 146 ( 01 ) - March 1975
Class 146 – Redfern Police Academy. Sworn In on Monday 10 March 1975. They didn’t have a March Out because the Parade ground was flooded. They were Sworn In in one of the Class rooms. Martin BETCHER ( Back Row, 2nd from left )


 

Morris Langlo WEST, Morris WEST, Maurie WEST
There is some confusion about the middle name of Morris WEST which is exaggerated by the misspelling within the Australian Honours system. As mentioned in the screen shot from Australian Honours system, Morris Langle WEST was an Uncle to Morris Langlo WEST. Morris Langle WEST was an Author whereas Morris Langlo WEST was, in fact, a Member of the NSWPF.  Therefore, the screen capture above, from the Australian Honours system, clearly shows that Langlo is credited with Honours that he didn’t actually receive and Langle is also credited with Honours that he didn’t actually received.   Both of these persons were actually named Morris LANGLO West.  Our Policeman was named after his fathers brother – the Author which means the spelling upon the Australian Honours system is incorrect in relation to the middle name LANGLE.

 


 

Morris Langlo WEST was named after his Uncle, who was an Author – Morris Langlo WEST.
