"The Band of the Hampshire Constabulary
Centenary - 1895 - 1995''
The Annual Church Parade was held at St Mary's Church, Southampton. The
photo shows the band, led by its Bandmaster the late Sergeant Stan Roper.
Leading the column furthest from the saluting base is ex-D Sgt Bob Shergold
who served from 1948 to 1975. Bob says he joined the band to improve his
chances of being allocated police accommodation, unfortunately for him this
did not prove to be the case!
