FUNERAL OF A CONSTABLE – The funeral of constable Peter Dunn, who for 12 years was attached to the Metropolitan Police, and died on Tuesday evening, took place yesterday. At 1.30 p.m , the coffin covered with wreaths, was borne by six of deceased’s comrades at No 1 station from the residence off Pitt street, near Bathurst-street The cortege, which included about 100 constables representing all the Metropolitan and some suburban stations, was headed by the police band under Bandmaster Hutchinson.
A number of civilians were in vehicles.
The cortege went along Pitt street and turned into Liverpool-street, passing the Central Police Court, and then by way of George-street proceeded to the Mortuary station. The interment took place at Rookwood. The band with muffled drums played along the route the “Dead March” in ” Saul ” and Beethoven’s ” Dead March. ” Inspector Potter and Senior-sergeants Chambers and Roden were the principal police officers present.
Having found the grave stone of this man – information is gleaned that his wife, Mary, was in fact, the very FIRST NSW Police Matron and she served the Police of NSW for 42 years.
For those who don’t know – NSW Police had their own Ward at Prince Henry Hospital, Little Bay, NSW for many years and this woman ( together with numerous other nurses ) would have nursed hundreds upon hundreds of Police over her tenure at that Hospital.
This “Ward” was still in existence when I joined the NSWPF in 1975.

The memories this brings back, one of the many tales about the old Sandstone Police Station at Gosford was that Ted Albury was meticulous about signing the many pads that were in existence in those days.
His standard signature was “Noted E.G. Albury“.
A few fellows who shall remain nameless took it upon themselves to reproduce that signature on every piece of paper that existed in the Station.
Noted E.G.Albury was cropping up on files all around the State and was strongly rumoured to have been seen on the back of a calendar hanging in the Commissioners Office.
The camaraderie and fellowship which existed amongst the troops in those days will forever remain in my memories.

The Truscott Flying Club’s plane, Robin, was wrecked when it made a forced landing in a paddock near Hollywood holiday resort ( Lansdowne – 2163 ) on the George’s River on Wednesday. The single occupant of the aircraft, Mr. Leon Creagh, 21, of Botany, a student pilot, was unhurt. Creagh ‘undershot’ the paddock he had selected for a forced landing
and stalled the aircraft to avoid hitting overhead wires. The plane dropped into the paddock in an almost straight and level position from a height of 40 feet and hit the ground with such force that it fell to pieces. Robin, a De Haviland 60 Gipsy Moth, was used for years by Dr. Clyde Fenton on aerial medical trips in the Northern Territory. ( Leon is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Creagh, of Gloucester ).
