June 1973: Former Liverpool Police Officer – Senior Constable Darryl R. Blanch ( # 10649 ) and Probationary Constable S. C. Bird ( # 15174 ) pursued three men travelling in a stolen motor vehicle at Lansdowne.
Shots were exchanged during the subsequent high speed chase, one of which penetrated the windscreen of the Police vehicle only inches away from the head of Senior Constable Blanch.
After abandoning the stolen vehicle at Chullora, the offenders were arrested later by other members of the Police Force.

I had been in the Cadets for a year when I first met Darryl in 1961. We were both 16 yr old cadets at VKG.
Darryl’s family lived on a dairy farm at Millers Forrest near East Maitland and I used to travel up there with him every couple of weekends. He drove a Datsun 180B and I can still remember the number being DRB-018.
Darryl married Merv Taylor’s (President of the Police Assoc in those days) daughter and they lived near Bankstown aerodrome.
We went our own ways and I lost contact with him. I can’t get to your funeral Darryl but will livestream it. RIP Darryl.
Darryl was one of those honest hard working police I have ever worked with pity he doesn’t get some type of police funeral with a couple of current police at his funeral.
I first came across him when he was in the coopers then use to compete with him driving down Woodville road when he was at Merrylands STP.
I spent many years on accident squad 4 working with him and did many records of interviews.
He would ring me early in the morning on a call out and then turn up with siren and blue light at the front door.
We started the AIS at Daceyville and when I rejoined I walked into a police station on my first day and here is Darryl at the front counter with a welcome sadly missed.
Darryl BLANCH was the first shift supervisor I met when I started at Auburn Police Station in 1990 two years prior to his retirement an absolute true gentleman and fantastic supervisor with a wealth of knowledge from his years in the job and Accident Investigation.
Darryl it was a pleasure to have met and served with you I still have fond memories mate.
May you RIP my friend.

A man ambushed in his car and shot in the head in western Sydney remained in a critical condition today.
The man was driving his car along Hughes Street, Cabramatta, at 2.45pm (AEST) yesterday when a person ran up to the car and fired shots at him, police said.
The 30-year-old was shot a number of times, including in the head.
A woman in the car was uninjured, Cabramatta Police Superintendent Alan Becke said.
The man was treated at the scene by ambulance officers before being taken to an undisclosed hospital where he underwent surgery.
He was still in a critical condition today.
Police had spoken to witnesses and canvassed the area in search of the offender.
Investigators appealed for anyone who was in the vicinity of Hughes Street, or who might have witnessed the incident, to contact Cabramatta Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
BOWRAL: A man on parole after serving a jail term for malicious assault was charged in Bowral Local Court yesterday with the murder of a 43-year old woman.
Mr Gregory Ronald Keaton, 32, of Moss Vale, is charged with murdering Ms Patricia Ann Murray at Moss Vale on Saturday.
Detective Sergeant Alan Becke told the court that Mr Keaton went to a hotel last Friday and, after midnight, followed the woman to her home.
An argument developed between the two because he believed Ms Murray was going to report him and his de-facto wife to the Housing Commission and Department of Social Security.
Sergeant Becke said that during the argument Mr Keaton strangled Ms Murray.
It was understood Ms Murray had said that Mr Keaton, though employed, was receiving unemployment benefits and that his de-facto wife was receiving a single-parent benefit.
Mr Keaton was remanded in custody to appear in Moss Vale Local Court on Monday.
The court had been told that Mr Keaton was on parole, having been convicted in 1982 of malicious assault inflicting actual bodily harm to have sexual intercourse.
His de-facto wife and two of her five children were in court.

Condolences to Tanya and their sons – Conor, Tyler; families and friends.
Tombo Barnez Scotty, so long ago mate, solo cycle course in the middle of winter 1998; rain, sleet, snow and just a little bit of sunshine; and, most of all, four weeks with a great bunch of blokes. All of us, a lot younger then, in what seems like a very different time; when a pair of king gee overalls, a standard issue leather jacket, some elastic sided baxter boots, a pair of leggings almost identical to those worn by the light horse in WW1, and whatever gear you could borrow from one of the certified cyclists back at work, were considered safe enough to wear as we scooted around the country side. Precious memories, even more precious now. Whatever the cause, I’m so sorry to hear you couldn’t stay around. Whenever our paths crossed, you always had a smile. May that continue to be the case wherever you find yourself now. RIP my friend.

CONSTABLE CHARLES PERCY LLOYD BEBB.
On November 11, 1911, while bathing in the surf at Bronte a man named Maurice Maher became cramped and perfectly helpless a considerable distance from the beach, and was rapidly being carried further out. He shouted for assistance, and Constable Bebb swam out, partially dressed, with the line, which he lost in the breakers. He, however, swam on and reached Maher, and with the assistance of Constable Conley, who had also swam out, he was safely got to the shore.

Sergeant Charles Percy Bebb, of Waratah Street, Arncliffe, one of the most popular members of the metropolitan police force, died last Sunday at the North Sydney Hospital, aged 48 years.
A week previously he was operated upon for appendicitis, but peritonitis developed and he did, not rally.
Sergeant Bebb was only recently promoted to first-class rank.
As a member of the water police he saved many from drowning and by kindly care and aid prevented many distressed persons taking their lives.
During the deceased’s connection with the force he had been associated with nearly every branch of the service.
Starting at George Street North, he later joined the Water Police, and was familiar with every point of the harbour.
Then to the Traffic Branch, where he was well-known in connection with the issue of licenses and vehicle registration.
Back later to the Water Police figuring prominently in many of the unfortunate bridge tragedies.
Still, later as officer to Redfern division, and latterly to St. George as licensing officer.
At the time of his sudden illness he was on special duty at North Sydney.
The deceased, who is survived by a wife and two daughters, was Vice-President of St. David’s Church of England Men’s Society, Arncliffe, and also treasurer, synodsman, and parish Councillor of the church.
He was also a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge.
The funeral services at St. David’s, Church, Arncliffe, and at the Woronora Crematorium, on Tuesday, were largely attended.
Inspector ( George Gilbert ) Fergusson ( # ‘Q‘ 8769 ) represented the Commissioner of Police, and Inspector ( Henry ) Chinner ( # ‘Q‘ 7932 ) the metropolitan superintendent.
The police band and 80 policemen in uniform were present.
Inspector Jones, of Kogarah, was in charge of arrangements, and was assisted by Sergeant Redding.
The large gathering present included many ex-policemen and colleagues and friends.
The services were conducted by the Rector, Rev. Pitt-Owen, assisted by the Rev, W. J. Siddens.
The chief mourners were Mrs. M. Bebb (wife), and two daughters, Mr. J. Harold Bebb (brother), and Mrs. Bebb, Mrs. S. R. White (mother), Mr. and Mrs. Hendren (sister) of Lithgow, Mr. John Bebb, Mr. S. R. White, Mr. A. Wray, Mr. H. H. Youngman (uncles), and their wives.
The WIFE and FAMILY of the late CHARLES PERCY LLOYD BEBB, of Arncliffe, wish to return THANKS to the many kind friends and relatives for letters, cards, and floral tributes in their
BEBB. — In loving memory of Charles Percy Lloyd Bebb who departed this life October 21 1934. Always remembered. — Inserted by his loving wife and daughters Maggie and Esther.
BEBB. — In loving memory of Percy who passed away October 21, 1934.
These postcards came from old albums owned by Charles Percy Lloyd Bebb (known as Percy) and Maggie Gardner.
Percy was born in 1886 to parents Joel and Esther (nee Harrold); Maggie was born in 1888 to John and Sarah (nee Isaac).
Their families lived in Glebe; they both attended St John’s Church there.
Both were given their albums by their parents – Percy on his 20th birthday in 1886.
The cards date from the beginning of their friendship in 1904, continue through their courtship until their marriage in 1909; after that, they are mostly Greeting types for birthday and Christmas.
They follow Percy’s path from Glebe Fire Brigade to CSR at Broadwater Richmond River and finally to NSW Police Force.
Mostly these cards date from 1904 to around 1910. A lot are between Maggie and Percy – in their courtship they seem to have written very frequently. A lot of the messages are concerned with their own and the other’s health – perhaps there was nothing else to write about. Or fishing; both families seemed to be very keen fishing people.
Unfortunately a lot of these cards are age spotted from being stored in the old albums with porous green paper; or damaged through posting or handling.
While I have discarded the worst ones, some that otherwise seem historic or attractive I have retained, hoping they will still be appealing to someone. So please let the photos been your guide as to description. Always happy to combine.
NSWPF No 8794, Charles Percy Lloyd Bebb joined the NSW Police Force 7 March 1908. He had achieved the rank of Sergeant when he died 21 October 1934.
Constable Charles Percy Lloyd Bebb was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Royal Humane Society of NSW for actions involving a drowning rescue at Bronte on the 11th November 1911.
From a newspaper report of 25 April 1932 he is mentioned as trying to revive a man who had jumped from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Unfortunately he was already dead when his body was retrieved from the water.
He was probably stationed first at NSW Mounted Police Barracks Bourke St Redfern, then at Central Police Barracks Liverpool St, and later was stationed at Newcastle and West Maitland (1917).

One shows the front façade of the Police Barracks, the other has several small vignettes showing Mounted Police on horseback, undergoing training, in formation etc. One is dated 18.3.08. As Percy only joined the Police Force 7 March 1908, it is possible this was his first posting. Both photos are faded.

Senior-Constable Timothy Starr, of the Marrickville Police Station, died in Lewisham Hospital on Friday from pneumonia, contracted through a chill he received while recovering the body of one of the boys who was drowned in a waterhole at Marrickville on September 23 last.
Deceased was a strict Catholic, the last rites of the Church being administered to him by the Very Rev. Father Frederick, C.P., who also visited him during his illness.
The late Senior-Constable Starr was a native of the County Clare, Ireland, and was 46 years of age.
He came to Australia about 26 years ago, and had just completed 20 years’ service in the police force.
He was first appointed to No. 3 Station, and subsequently to Paddington, where he was promoted to the rank of Senior-Constable.
Three years ago he was transferred to Marrickville.
Deceased was a popular officer, and was much respected and esteemed by the residents of the districts in which he had done duty.
He was a man of sterling character, and had the confidence of his superiors.
His wife predeceased him three years ago, and he has left one child — a little girl about six years old.
A Mass for the repose of the soul was celebrated in St. Brigid’s, Marrickville, by the Very Rev. Father Frederick, C.P., on Saturday morning.
The funeral left the church in the afternoon for the Waverley Cemetery, and after the Last Absolutions had been pronounced the coffin was carried to the hearse by four of the deceased’s comrades, the ‘ Dead March ‘ being played on the organ meanwhile.
Over 100 members of the Metropolitan Police Force, under Inspector McIntosh, marched in front of the hearse, which was also preceded by the Very Rev. Fathers Frederick, C.P., and P. B. Kennedy, O.F.M., who officiated at the grave.
The cortege was headed by the Police Band, under Senior-Constables Mankey and Hamilton, which rendered the customary funeral music.
The attendance at the funeral was very large, the crowd that gathered around St. Brigid’s Church being a very big one.
Father Frederick preached the panegyric at the grave.
Amongst those present were Senior Sergeants Griffiths ( Ashfield ) and Parkinson ( No. 1 Police Station ), Senior-Constables Orr ( North Sydney ), Graham ( Paddington ) and Phelan, and Constable Thomas Moloney ( No. 3 Station ), one of deceased’s oldest and most trusted friends.
STARR.—The Friends of Senior-constable TIMOTHY STARR are respectfully invited to attend his Funeral ; to leave St. Brigid’s R.C. Church, Marrickville, on THIS SATURDAY, at 1.30, for Waverley Cemetery.

STARR. — The Friends of Messrs. MICHAEL and THOMAS MOLONEY are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral of their late friend, Senior-constable Timothy Starr; to leave St. Brigid’s Church, Marrickville, on THIS SATURDAY, at 1.30, for Waverley Cemetery.
John Docksay, of Annandale-street, Darling Point, is the owner of a handsome retriever dog.
On the evening of October 11 Constable Timothy Starr happened to be in the neighborhood of the place mentioned, and the animal, without preliminary warning or ultimatum of any kind, bit him in the shin, not, however, in such a way as to prevent him from discharging his duty.
At the Paddington Police Court yesterday Docksay was proceeded against for keeping a dog that endangered Constable Starr‘s limbs.
The defendant could not account for the animal’s foolish behavior, though he held the opinion that it only desired to play with the constable on the occasion referred to.
He was, however, ordered to pay £2, with 4s,10d costs, in default levy and distress.
Whilst at Waverley, today, 5/5/2021, I paid my respects to –
SENIOR CONSTABLE TIMOTHY STARR
Marrickville Police – Pneumonia – 6 October, 1905
Resting Place – Waverley Cemetery, Waverley
On 23 September, 1905 the constable was on duty assisting with the recovery of the bodies of two brothers, Richmond Augustus Kirkland (12) and George Nelson Kirkland (14) who had been drowned while fishing in a waterhole at Daley’s Brickworks in Marrickville, when he caught a severe chill.
He ( STARR ) was taken to Lewisham Hospital where it was found that his condition had deteriorated to pneumonia, and he passed away on 6 October.
The Catholic Press of 12 October, 1905 reported on the constables death.
“SENIOR CONSTABLE STARR.
Senior-Constable Timothy Starr, of the Marrickville Police Station, died in Lewisham Hospital on Friday from pneumonia, contracted through a chill he received while recovering the body of one of the boys who was drowned in a waterhole at Marrickville on September 23 last.
Deceased was a strict Catholic, the last rites of the Church being administered to him by the Very Rev. Father Frederick, C.P., who also visited him during his illness.
The late Senior-Constable Starr was a native of the County Clare, Ireland, and was 46 years of age. He came to Australia about 26 years ago, and had just completed 20 years service in the police force.
He was first appointed to No. 3 Station, and subsequently to Paddington, where he was promoted to the rank of Senior-Constable.
Three years ago he was transferred to Marrickville.

His wife predeceased him three years ago, and he has left one child — a little girl about six years old.”
The constable was born in Killaloe, Ireland in 1859 and joined the New South Wales Police Force on 16 September, 1885. At the time of his death he was stationed at Marrickville. His death was recorded in the New South Wales Police Gazette of 27 December, 1905. He is not listed in the official New South Wales Police Honour Roll.
A MAN AND A REVOLVER. EXTRAORDINARY BEHAVIOR. TWO LIVES IN DANGER EFFECTS OF THE WAR FEVER.
Many of the residents of Rushcutter’s Bay, in the neighborhood of the power-house, were startled on Saturday night last by the unusual sound of arms being discharged in that quiet neighborhood. The facts in connection with the occurrence go to show that what might have been very grave consequences were escaped by sheer good luck, two lives having been seriously endangered.
It appears that at about 10.25 p.m., Mr. Benjamin Bernard, a resident of Elizabeth-street, Paddington, and engaged in business at 89½ King-street, Sydney, was walking along Bayswater-road, on his way home by that route. He passed the power house, and reached that open portion of the road opposite Rushcutter’s Bay Reserve. As he neared the hoarding on the right hand side of the road, he saw a man under the lamp post flourishing a revolver, and just when he got within a few yards of him the weapon was discharged in the direction of the reserve.
Mr. Bernard at once remonstrated angrily with the man upon the recklessness of his conduct, and gave him a strong warning not to repeat it, and then proceeded on his journey.
When he had gone 50 or 100 yards, he met Constable Timothy Starr, to whom he related the occurrence, saying that he thought, there was a man running amuck farther down.
The constable proceeded towards the power house, and after he had gone a few moments it occurred to Mr. Bernard that he had better go back, in case his assistance might be required.
He accordingly turned, and crossed over the road towards the Bayswater-road Hotel. As he stepped on the footpath he found himself face to face with the man, who evidently had escaped the constable.
The man instantly raised his revolver, and discharged it at Mr. Bernard’s head.
Mr. Bernard had seen the danger, and ducked to one side, and the bullet whizzed past over his shoulder. The man then passed on, leaving Mr. Bernard for the moment dazed. The latter’s blood, however, was now up, and he determined to close with the man, and for that purpose prepared to rush on him unawares.
Just then Constable Starr, who had heard the shot, flew past in the direction of the man, and immediately got close to him. The man thereupon turned round, and levelled his revolver at the constable. The latter almost instinctively raised up his cloak to ward off, as well as it could, the bullet which he was certain was coming. The trigger was heard being drawn, and the leaden messenger was awaited, but providentially it did not come.
The revolver would not work for just that instant, and before the man could do anything both the constable and Mr. Bernard were upon him, and had him soon pinned to the ground.
Starr quickly took the revolver out of his hand ; but had hardly got hold of it when it went off — fortunately in a safe direction.
The man was then taken to the Paddington Station, where he gave the name of Charles Willis, 29, groom, an Englishman, and said to be in the employ of Mr. McGrath, livery stable proprietor, Castlereagh street, Sydney.
On the way to the station his captors asked him for some explanation of his conduct, but he did not appear to be very coherent, or to quite understand his position.
He talked about being in the Transvaal, and being stuck up by the Boers, whom he had accordingly fired at.
In reply to the constable he also stated that he remembered having ” three rums ” that night, and was not quite sure how he got as far as Rushcutter’s Bay, since he resided in Sydney.
At the Paddington Police Court to-day, before Mr. Isaacs, S.M., Willis was charged with maliciously shooting at Benjamin Bernard, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and a remand being asked for by the police, the case was adjourned till Thursday next.
The accused is a small man, of rather depressed appearance. There was nothing about him that would suggest him as a formidable opponent for the Boers. His memory of the events of Saturday night is very confused, and he can give no coherent account of the proceedings on that occasion.
The revolver is an old one, and bears on it the imprint, ” Presse, Laloux, and Cie, Liege. ”
Three discharged cartridges were found in it, and one undischarged.
James Ryan, 24, laborer, was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment, with hard labor, for assaulting ConstableTimothy Starr in the execution of his duty.
