Incident

Found dead with a serious head injury after defending Epsom Police Station against an attack from a group of Canadian soldiers. Earlier, after a Canadian soldier had been arrested and taken to the Police Station, a group of his compatriots descended on the station demanding his release. Initially they were dispersed but they later returned and attempted to force their way in to the station. Sergeant Green led officers from behind the mob and attempted to disperse them once again but as the mob retreated he was found fatally injured.
