Mr Jerrard,
As promised please find attached above referenced items.
The photo is actually Arthur Alliston Arthur was born in 1899, Bury Street, Edmonton, North London. He signed up in 1914 to serve in the army, being considerably under age, but being a tall lad as most of the family were I guess he passed easily as much older. I am guessing at some point after the war during the next several years he joined the City of London police. I understand the criteria for joining at that time was those over six feet tall, Arthur was six feet six/seven. Unfortunately Arthur's collar number is hard to distinguish. I presently do not know how long he served. I am guessing the photo is around 1920 or so. He died in 1941 of complications after a fall in a hospital ward at North Middlesex hospital. His death certificate lists him as previously of the City of London police and receiving a pension. He was never quite right after contracting double pneumonia in the trenches and perhaps gives an indication of why he was already pensioned from the police at a relatively early age.
The newspaper shows Arthur's photo used to illustrate the left hand side of the banner headline. As I indicated previously this was a series of articles documenting the history of the London police force.

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.
All I know about Jack Howard my Great Granddad, is that he served in the CIty of London Police c1911. He was the father of Terry Howard, who later became a Chief Superintendent. Photo taken 1911 Any information contact Dowler63@aol.com
"OTHER FORCES
"This is NOT a City Officer, however it is probably a Special of about 1916 wearing the typical armlet. Alfred Woodruff There is a possibility it may be Met, Essex has also been suggested.
