    This was sent to me for identification, but I can't recognize what force the helmet plate is for. PC in question apparently had strong links to Somerset. Does anyone recognize what force the helmet plate is for? Thanks in advance.

    Isle of Wight Constabulary. Aside from the distinctive helmet plate, he has the letters "IW" on his epaulette.

    If the photo was taken in the 1930’s, this was PC Francis Arthur Davis.

    Thanks for this - how certain are you of the spelling of the surname there? I ask as I passed this information on, and three family names that are contenders for who this is supposed to be are apparently Marks, Welch and DAVEY. I personally believe this photo pre-dates the 1930's, but not by a lot, and Davey is very close to Davis if that is just a coincidence...
