Mervyn Mitton Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 There have been a number of historical group photos shown on this Forum - particularly on the Specials thread. However, it is common practise for the Class to have a photograph taken with Instructors in the Final Week before Passing Out. This is mine - taken in January 1968 - I'm in the third row at end right. Perhaps our many other Police members will be interested in posting theirs - remember, there is an historical content in the Uniforms and the Force - many of which have changed. Look forward to seeing them - and one point, no matter what Rank was achieved we all started at this point ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I can't remeber collecting mine....but I wasn't the best student! A great thread though Mervyn maybe a posting in the lounge as I'm sure you will get more than "Job" photos maybe even get some from the Colonies though they will probaly be porale photos Best Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Good idea Craig - hopefully it will get a few more replies - I feel a bit 'stupid' standing there all on my own........ Best wishes Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Bates Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Mervyn, I don't have a "passing out parade" photo as I was rejected for the Army for being colour-blind. I am however posting my family's passing out of 1950s Britain into the Lucky Country. I am third from left. I think Craig is correct in saying that this thread belongs in the Lounge. Stuart PS. Got to be so careful with you lot - my father is holding the pint of beer! Edited September 21, 2010 by Stuart Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Great photo, Stuart. I'm going to follow Craig's suggestion and post on the Lounge. Just re-post this - it is a reminder of times long past. I first went to Melbourne in 1949. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Bates Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Mervyn, I finally found that primary school "passing out" photo. It was the class of 1959 and I am second row, third from right. You must get this thread moved to the Lounge as we will see some very interesting history when it is exposed to the GP. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 I did re-post to the Lounge - I think about two people added photos. With the Forum postings have to be at the right time to get interest - however, why not add these - may get some interest. I think they've nearly finished re-fighting the World Wars...........

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have no passing out photo... but do have photos of guys in the unit after they have passed out. This includes ones where, after they have passed out a single eyebrow is shaved off, or, in one case, the face was decorated with a thick black permanent marker. Would these fir the bill? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Actually, i see this is in the coppers section.... as some of the passed out photos are probably actions that could in various countries be considered illegal... I probably wont be posting them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Chris - as Craig says - I also posted on the Lounge. Please put your pictures on - it's only for a bit of fun and to show members a little about us. I hope Craig will also re-post on the Lounge?
