UNDER ARREST
NO 1 POLICEMAN IN BERLIN
LONDON, Dec, 20
The British authorities on December 15 arrested the Deputy Provost Marshall, Lieutenant-Colonel T. C. Irvine, “Number one policeman in Berlin,’’ says the “Daily Mail’s’’ correspondent. The charge against Irvine, who is confined under close arrest in private quarters in the British zone, has not yet been disclosed. Meanwhile a widespread investigation is being made into suspected violations of Army Regulations by officers stationed in Berlin.
The correspondent says that Irvine is a member of the Eighth Army, who served with distinction in the desert. He is one of the best-known and most popular officers in the Berlin garrison. For the last five months he has com. manded the British Military Police Force in Berlin and has led all major raids on the notorious German black market in the Tiergarten. On December 15 he used tanks and armoured cars manned by Hussars in a round-up which led to many important arrests.
