EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of policemen taking a break from their duties at Battersea in south west London during the late 1930s. The image, which is believed to date from around 1939, shows a diverse group of officers from the Metropolitan Police Force. Some are dressed in standard police uniforms, complete with helmets, while others are Special Constables, identifiable by their peaked caps. One officer stands out for his unusual headgear, wearing a tin helmet instead of the traditional police or Special Constable headwear. The presence of helmets suggests that the photograph was taken during a time of heightened tension or unrest, possibly in the lead up to or during the early stages of World War II. The Metropolitan Police Force played a crucial role in maintaining order and security during this period, with both regular and Special Constables working tirelessly to protect the public. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the police force during a pivotal moment in world history. The image is particularly significant as it shows the diversity of the police force, with both uniformed and Special Constables working together to ensure the safety and security of the community. The use of helmets, both traditional and makeshift, further underscores the sense of preparedness and vigilance that characterized this era.
