Deelibob Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 A bit of a Forlorn Hope but I was hoping that a clued up Metropolitan Police Collector Member of Forum may be able to put a name to this Sergeant. The items were purchased in Bognor Regis. Due to the Lack of WW1 or Coronation Medals I would tentatively say it is probably circa 1910 to 1930 ish (I Stand to be corrected of course) Here's hoping Regards Peter
Odin Mk 3 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I think it is later than you indicate I found 88551 Frederick Little who retired July 1925 as PS 15W (1902 & 1911 Medals) and 91558 Thomas Egan who retired March 1930 as Station Sergt 15W (1911 Medal) 88551 Frederick Little 12/05/1902 PC 497 N 20/07/1925 PS 15 W Pensioned 91558 Thomas Egan 06/03/1905 PC 202 A 17/03/1930 SPS 15 W Pensioned
Deelibob Posted September 20, 2018 Author Posted September 20, 2018 Odin, Many thanks for you efforts on my behalf but my mans number is W 16 the photo is a little distorted but the original is clearly W16. I am much obliged for your help. and overawed by the information you have. Again Many thanks Peter
Odin Mk 3 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Sorry I hurriedly looked at the photo of the man and not the helmet plate which is obvious. These men all retired as W16 65163 Joseph Yates 08/01/1906 PS 16 W Pensioned 83516 Walter Loveday 21/01/1924 PS 16 W Pensioned 91716 William Sweet 21/04/1930 PC 16 W Pensioned It is none of these as they all have Coronation / Jubilee Medals. So I would guess it is post 1930 which means unfortunately you are looking for someone who is outside my data span - the chap also looks fairly young so possibly newly promoted.
Deelibob Posted September 20, 2018 Author Posted September 20, 2018 Just my luck but will content myself with thought that the badge was possibly worn by one of the above. Thank you so much for your kind and informative help. Regards Peter
