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.
