Book excerpt: Another letter, written by Mounted Constable Cornelius Power, relates the extent of hardship and privation to which many of these troopers willingly submitted in the course of their duty. Also included is a factual account of the infamous Sundown murder case of the 1950s written by the chief investigating officer, Chas Hopkins. Often experienced bush policemen needed the help of loyal native trackers, but on one occasion it was a native prisoner named 'Neighbour', who at the risk of his own life plunged into raging floodwaters to save his captor, Mounted Constable William F. Johns, from drowning. 'Neighbour' was consequently awarded the Albert Medal for bravery".--publisher.
