LWRNP Tania Beaumont is the 1989 winner of the H.A. Dewsbury award for " most outstanding member of the Naval Poli« in her first U months of service".

Naval Support Cornman· de r, Rear Admiral A. R. Horton, presented LWRNP Beaumont with the H.A. Dewsbury shield and certificate in a cere· mony at the RAN Security and Naval Police School.

Mrs Ruth Dewsbury and daughter Mrs Karen O'Bryan attended.

Duling his long and dis­tinguished career, the late Harry Dewsbury was par­ticularly active in the con· tinuing training of Naval Police .

Because of this enduring interest in trainees, it was decided the memorial shield be awarded annually to the member of the Naval Police whose performance in their first 12 months was the most outstanding,

recipient , 10hn Beddow, has subsequently risen to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

There have been many other worthy winners since that time and competition for the award remains keen.

RA DM Honon con­gratulated Tania on her achievement.

She had Mdisplayed a most professional approach 10 her duties." he said.

MShe performs her duties in a cheerful and courteous manner , which has gained her the respect of both her supervisors and peers."
