EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the proud and distinguished appearance of a Police Reserve Sergeant, adorned with his medals and uniform, standing at attention. The medals displayed on his chest tell a story of dedication and service to his country. Starting from the left, the first medal is the 1902 Edward VII Coronation Medal. This medal was issued to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII on August 9, 1902, following the death of Queen Victoria. The medal bears the image of King Edward VII on the obverse, and the reverse features the legend "Edward VII Rex et Imperator" (Edward VII King and Emperor). The second medal is the 1911 George V Coronation Medal. This medal was awarded to mark the coronation of King George V on June 22, 1911. The obverse of the medal features a portrait of King George V, while the reverse bears the legend "George V Rex et Imperator" (George V King and Emperor). The third medal is the South African War Medal 1889-1902. This medal was awarded to those who served in the Second Boer War between 1889 and 1902. The obverse of the medal bears the effigy of Queen Victoria, while the reverse features the legend "South Africa 1899-1902". The Police Reserve Sergeant wears the uniform of the British police force, which includes a peaked cap, tunic, and trousers. The uniform is adorned with various insignia, including the police badge and the King's Crown. The Sergeant's stern gaze and upright posture convey a sense of duty, discipline, and pride. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the British police force and the sacrifices made by its members in the name of duty and country. The medals and uniform worn by the Sergeant are symbols of the bravery, loyalty, and commitment of the men and women who have served in the police force throughout history.
