Posted to India, Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong, Cyprus and the United Kingdom, he was discharged at Hong Kong upon completion of engagement on 3 January 1981. His reference was impressive:
‘Exemplary. Birbahadur is cheerful, confident, obedient and honest man. He is a great disciplinarian and a very good storeman. I recommend him for a job of watchman, storeman and guard duty, which I strongly believe he will perform with his utmost confidence and honesty.’
