This must be a photograph of this officer when he joined, although I am not 100 per cent sure.
The clarity is very good, I would say excellent, but I am no expert. Isn’t it wonderful that you can clearly see his force number on his uniform and especially his helmet, which is unusual.
If you cant see them them go to spec savers.
I bought the photograph from ebay as I knew who it was, and because it was so good..
He is or rather was, a good looking chap especially in his uniform and no doubt had many admirers.
PC 60 is also in this photograph above, but can you see him ? If you cannot find him, then do not worry as it took me a while to realise where he was !
I am not sure of the date of the photo, but it is definetly before 1939, and in the 1930’s.
This photograph has kindley been given to me by Alan MATHEWS, grandson of Fred MALKIN, Fred is siting second from the right on the front row.
