Metropolitan Police PC Scott

[Deelibob]

Yesterday on attending a Swap meeting of my collecting club I was well pleased to obtain an 1887 Met Jubilee medal and bar 1897, albeit not in the best of condition, it has at some time been heavily stained and someone has cleaned it, with judging from the result, a scouring pad !!! leaving a scratched surface on the obverse. I was also well pleased to obtain access to a book listing the men entitled to the medals who joined 1879 and later. I was doomed to disappointment, on eagerly searching for my man : - PC J.Scott "K" Division alas he does not appear presumably having joined prior to 1879.

Can anyone assist with information on this mans service

Yes you are correct - he joined 03/03/1873

The man was John Scott Warrant Number 56582 and as stated above joined 03/03/1873 as a PC in K Div (Bow) and retired as a PC still in K Div 02/05/1898

Another one to add to the correction list

Thanks for the information. I have found that John was born in Morcott, Rutlandshire c.1847. In 1891 he was resident in Middlesex.

Thanks Again, Regards.
