219PG Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 While collecting Met police photo's e.t.c I sometimes get other bits and pieces along with purchases like the attached. A London Fire Brigade & Auxiliary Fire Service Christmas card dated 1940. During 1940 - 41 they were bravely battling to save London from fires caused during the blitz. Anyone got any other old Christmas cards from Police Forces or Fire services tucked away. Happy Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

219PG Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 The following 1934 Metropolitan Police Christmas card was sent by PC 561X Arthur Quemby who was tragically in January 1948 when he skidded on ice while performing motorcycle beat duty. Arthur appears in the Met police book of remembrance. Below is a photograph of PC Arthur Quemby in uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
