      There is so little information on British Colonial Police uniforms, so it is hard to research such pieces when they emerge. I would suggest starting a new topic for Colonial Police Photographs to capture some data.

      You are totally right, my mistake, I didn't realise they kept their sovereignty.

      How about Nepal Police, prior to independence of course ? Their uniform caps are a similar blue today ? Image courtesy of http://www.npa.gov.np

      The Naval armband with crown between the N P is also used in the Royal Navy, it stands for Naval Provost and in my opinion is no way related to this cap. As for the Newfoundland Police they have been called the Newfoundland Constabulary or latterly the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary for some time prior to this cap being made so NC as opposed to NP is more likely for them.

      Is this CD for sale or is it at a nominal cost price? If this is a commercial sale please post in the sales site.

      I am not sure the R.V. it stands for Rifle Volunteers as I thought such units were properly designated Volunteer Rifles

      Am I missing the point of this ?

      Mike No need to stray too far GMIC can answer many of your questions. There are four Patrick Lawlers on record, looking at the service numbers you can rule out three of them because their numbers do not tally with the joining date, your man's service number is 51181 if that helps narrow it down for you further.

      As can be seen I have recently undertaken a major upgrade of the forum software. It will take a few days to sort out all the problems. Watch this space for some exciting new updates over the next week or so :cheers:

      This forum is to discuss militaria and where appropriate military conflict. Freedom of speech does not fall within this as political topics are off limits. I have removed irrelevant posts and locked this down.

      Re the medal marked 1914 I was under the impression this was specifically issued for War service 1914-18.

      Pictures please, have to say all sounds rather dubious.

      I think your right on that, my limited understanding is that a county police department covers small townships and municipalities that do not have their own specific police department and have pooled together and share a county department, this may be in addition to the Sheriffs department which usually covers Jails and areas outside town limits.

      The likelyhood of being able to compile an accurate list is not very high on this one. I doubt that many services who were entitled to award their personnel have kept a definitive list, compounded by the lack of naming is a recipe for disaster for future researchers.
    21. Nick
      If there is a demand I will happily create a forum and see what happens.

      Thanks for posting such an interesting and topical collection, I have really enjoyed reading this thread.

      A simple photo editing program can easily reduce the size of a photo without losing too much detail. See this advice: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18286
