(Military) Gazette 1 Jan. 1944. Temp. Brigadier 1 May 1944 and Director
of Civil and Services Censorship, Army HQ India.
Recommendation: "Chief Censor, India. After having acted as Deputy
Chief Censor since the outbreak of war, Colonel Lindquist took over
charge of Indian Censorship in March 1942. In addition to controlling
all Military Censorship in India Command, for all Civil Censorship in
India. This involves the direction of 6 major Civil Censorship
stations, over 30 Field Censorship units and a number of POW and other
special stations and units. The establishment under his control is well
over 3000. His work brings him into contact with every Department of
Government and it is largely due to his tact and organisational ability
that friction usually associated with Censorship has been conspicuous
by its absence. Colonel Lindquist has not only performed his very
responsible and exacting duties with marked energy and ability
but has also, by unremitting effort, been largely instrumental in
building up Indian Censorship in its present high efficiency. It's
special value to the Empire's war effort, particularly in the sphere of
economic intelligence, has frequently been remaked upon officially by
the authorities in the United Kingdom."
