He spent most of his career in [[India]] in the [[Assam Police]], rising to the rank of [[Inspector-General]] commanding the force. In 1910 he was placed on Special Criminal Investigation duty. In 1911 he returned to [[England]] and took up the appointment of Chief Police Officer of the [[Port of London Police]], remaining in this position until his retirement in 1925. For his services in this role during the [[World War I|First World War]] he was appointed [[Order of the British Empire|Officer of the Order of the British Empire]] (OBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours.<ref>Wartime Civilian Honours List, ''[[The Times]]'', [[31 March]] [[1920]]</ref> After retirement he became Mayor of [[Croydon]]. He was an excellent tennis player and an enthusiastic big game hunter. He lost his left arm to a [[Leopard|panther]] (in [[Silchar]], [[Assam]]), was tossed by a [[gaur]] and trampled by an [[Indian rhinoceros]].<ref name="Warr"/> ==Ornithology== During his spare time he studied and collected the [[bird]]s of India. His books included ''The Indian Ducks and their Allies'' (1908), ''Game Birds of India and Ceylon'' (1921), ''Fauna of British India: Birds'' (1922; seven volumes), ''Mishmi Man-eater'' (1928), ''The Nidification of the Birds of the Indian Empire'' (1932), and ''Cuckoo Problems'' (1942; the [[cuckoo]] was his chief interest within ornithology). He made a comprehensive collection of nearly 50,000 Indian birds' eggs, which he donated to the [[Natural History Museum]], where he spent a lot of time working on the egg collections from India and [[Thailand]]. His seven-volume contribution to the ''[[Fauna of British India]]'' series became the standard reference work on the subject.<ref name="Warr">Warr, F. E. 1996.
