Stephen M Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Gents Please see attached one of my SC medals. It is made out to a SC George E Wilde. I do not usually research SC as it is quite difficult to do but SC are a nice medal to collect and not super expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbo Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 A nice medal. I do like the SC medals, i wish you the best of luck with research! I know a lot of records for SC officers have been destroyed or lost in the midsts of time. This is a great shame, most SC would have had "normal" day jobs and gave up much spare time to carry out police duties. These medals were earned the hard way especially during war time and i feel SC`s are the forgotten heroes at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen M Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thank you for the kind words, SC are today unpaid volunteers who do put themself in the front line and a few over the past have paid the price with their lives (8 Specials were killed in Bath, England during the WWII due to an air raid). The medals for SC do not always pay very highly unless from the Ulster Constabulary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
