This is a testimonial for William Vernon Logan Van Someren dated 21 November 1919 from G. C. R. Overton, a Lieutenant Colonel from the 9th Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers and Reserve of Officers. It is part of a collection of legal documents from the 19th and early 20th centuries which provides a glimpse into the work of the notable personalities who left their mark on Singapore’s legal history, and the economic and other transactions undertaken by ordinary immigrants in 19th century Singapore that tell stories of misfortune and indebtedness which would otherwise have disappeared from history.
