'Cos It's Hard Duw, It's Hard, Harder Than They Will Ever Know

Something found hanging in a Police Station somewhere in Metrocity.

Incidentally, a rarity by itself - the two silver stripes meant it was an Inspector's helmet, not something that has been issued for a long time here.

Cultural reference - miners used to turn their hats as well on retirement.
Something to remind them of the flowers that could have grown in vases over their heads.


To friends that have gone before.

It's always a sobering read, isn't it? Just schlepping in for another E/T and never making it. Makes me really quite sad.

There isn't a single day that I do not spare a thought about those who I knew who have gone and those who I did not know who have been tragically lost as well.

As a brief aside to the main point of the post (with full respect though). I have seen both a triple silver and a single wide silver (CI and Super) being worn on AID. Rare as rocking horse $hit though.

I like the way that whoever hung it up turned the badge round so that it is not upside down.

Like the flower pot excellent use and good idea.

I had a read through apart from the war entries which l expected to have a high toll. I was shocked at the amount of police that have died on duty. As someone said very sobering.

I'm surprised it's been allowed. In these days of being wrapped in cotton wool and the elf and safety brigade, it could seriously hurt someone.

Ironic to see a copper following a miner tradition.
