EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Inspector Alice Bertha Clayden stands proudly outside Buckingham Palace on a wintry January day in 1928. Surrounded by her brothers, she is a testament to the growing presence of women in the police force during the 1920s. With her brothers Sergeant Alfred William Clayden and Sergeant Henry Pegler, who had just been awarded the King's Police Medal for bravery, Inspector Clayden's family was a force to be reckoned with in the Metropolitan Police. The siblings are dressed in their uniforms, complete with helmets, badges, and stripes on their sleeves. Inspector Clayden's uniform is adorned with the distinctive peaked cap, buttons, and coat, all typical of the police uniforms of the era. Her brother Sergeant Frank Frayn Clayden and Inspector Charles Henry Clayden stand beside her, their uniforms similarly adorned. The image captures the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with hard work and dedication, as well as the importance of family support. The presence of women in the police force was still a relatively new phenomenon, and Inspector Clayden's presence outside Buckingham Palace serves as a powerful reminder of the strides women had made in gaining employment and recognition in traditionally male-dominated fields. The photograph also speaks to the sense of tradition and ceremony that surrounded police awards in the 1920s. The fact that the brothers were awarded the King's Police Medal for bravery underscores the importance of courage and dedication in the performance of police duties. The image is a snapshot of a moment in history, one that highlights the achievements of a remarkable woman and her family in the context of a rapidly changing world.
