An old memorial card found in the belongings of of Jane Arnold who died in 1983 among them is one for the three Policemen who died executing their duties on the 16th Dec
1910, Cutler St Houndsditch. It seems strange that Jane Arnold had this
memorial card as she was in domestic service all her life in Brixton SW2.
Jane never married could there be a connection somewhere with one of these
men"? Page 1 centre

Arthur became a City of London policeman on the 12th of February 1920. His warrant number was 8145 and he was a member of A division number 155. He was discharged on August 10th 1939 as being unfit for work. His pension was ninety one pounds, fourteen shillings and one penny a year which I assume was a year.
