And a further photocopy of a printed page shows his career with the Civil Service, ending as Auditor-General of the Straits Settlements on a salary of $7,800, which was rated as a “Civil Service Class I” job. Possibly the original of this will be in either The National Archives or the India office archiaves at the British Library.

His son Noel Trotter also went into the Civil Service and fairly certainly also ended up in the Straits Settlements.
