EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and historic photograph, an unnamed Metropolitan Police sergeant stands proudly, his stern yet compassionate gaze fixed on the camera lens. His uniform, adorned with the ribbons and medals of his distinguished career, tells a story of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. The six medals pinned to his chest are a testament to his heroic actions during both the First and Second World Wars. The oldest medal, a King's Police Medal for Gallantry (KPM), was awarded for his bravery during World War I. The inscription on the medal reads, "For Gallantry and Devotion to Duty." The next medal is the 1914 Star, awarded to those who served in the British military forces during the Great War before the end of 1915. The following two medals, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, were given to all members of the British and Imperial forces who served during the war. The two World War II medals, the Defence Medal and the War Medal 1939-1945, are the most recent additions to his collection. The Defence Medal was awarded for service during the period of national emergency from September 3, 1939, to June 5, 1940. The War Medal 1939-1945 was given to those who served in any capacity during the Second World War. This Englishman's medals, with their vibrant colours and intricate designs, are a visual reminder of the historical significance of the Metropolitan Police Force during the wars. The sergeant's unwavering dedication to his duty and his country is a source of great inspiration and pride. The photograph, framed and preserved, serves as a poignant reminder of the heroic actions of the men and women who served in the Metropolitan Police during the wars.
