Inspector Francis Beaton, Metropolitan Police Force, 1890 ~ 1916

[dpast32]

Good Evening Gentleman,  I've recently obtained a set of 'Mess Dress'

[ Miniatures ] Metropolitan Police 1897 / 1902 / 1911 Jubilee / Coronation 'Trio', named to PC & S.D. INSP. F. BEATON. Although I've made a fair amount of progress, yet I always end up learning a great deal more after inquiring here !! If anyone happens to either be familiar with this particular individual, & or his overall period of service within the Met, I would very much like to hear from them. Please excuse my following posted data, as it was 'cut' from my Ancestry Tree Page on him. 

 

Below are  a few relevant items pertaining to his Career, Census, 20 December 1941 Obituary, & the Obverse & Reverse of his Medal Group. And lastly, yes, they are indeed properly named, & in the officially encountered style. Any comments & or input on these will be deeply appreciated. THANK YOU

 

         Best regards,    Dom P.

Here’s an example of the naming on Inspector Beaton's Trio. As we all know, to find a set of these miniature, 'Mess Dress' versions named, & in what appears to be the official pattern tends to be somewhat uncommon.
