Michael Johnson Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I have a Metropolitan Police trio (1897, 1902 and 1911) named to John Hierons, V Division. From the Scotland Yard website it seems he is missing A Royal Humane Society Medal for diving into the Thames and saving a woman in 1902. His middle name appears to have been William. From Ancestry I have been able to determine that he emigrated to Australia in 1921, and I even have found a picture of his gravestone online. Apart from that I have nothing else. I can't even find him in the censuses. National Archives can't easily locate his record. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you, Michael Edited April 20, 2011 by Michael Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hi, if "mounted as worn" I would be curious to see.... Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 It is "mounted as worn", which in this case is 1897 Jubilee and 1902 Coronation on one bar and the 1911 on its own bar. Presumably he wore the RHSLM on a single bar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
