When Uniformed Men Wore Knee Length Socks

Sarawak Constabulary 1960's.

The Police uniform changed very often from 1950's to the present days.

In the 1960's Police (whether ordinary corporals) or top guns, all wore shorts and knee length socks with well polished boots.

We recognised their ranks by their pips, and crowns, and sometimes by their caps or berets.

As we had our own careful langauge, we seldom mentioned the police men by name . We called them The Two Star Moustache, The Three Crown Guy, The One Star Thin Man.

Those were days when we were terrified by the khaki coloured uniformed men who could outrun any rascal in Sibu.
