Rob Rose

Gentlemen Mystery solved The photo is of : P C Henry Ulric Rose b 1906 Nottingham (living in 1911 Beckenham / Bromley, Kent) Appointed 22 Oct 1928 - Warrant No. 117918 - J Division Bethnal Green http://www.flickr.co...57619598686347/ (photo record of joining date) It has been suggested the Helmet is a 'Met Police Night Helmet' ? Another suggestion was that he may have been Ministry of Defence Police, in that period it was probally a sub division of the Met. ? Thanks again Rob

Hello Mervyn Just interested in finding out about PC Rose J 261 - I assume his surname is Rose - by no means certain. He looks very young, probably taken when he joined the force ? All I know is the photo, which was sent to my grandfather Frank Rose in 1928 ...... (he would have been living in Cardiff at the time) My grandfather & / siblings were from Lewisham / Bromley / Beckenham Regards Rob

Cheers Monty - will give them a shout Rob

HI Wondering if anyone could identify which force from the attached photo - I'm guessing 'The Met' ? Helmet Plate reads J261 Also, if there is a way of finding a name / history / service record for the officer Message reads 'To Frank, Merry Xmas 1928' Frank being my grandfather Frank Rose b 1899 Bromley / Beckenham Regards Rob Rose
