It’s been an honour and a delight in the last couple of months to have several of our young Police Legatees come in (or zoom in) to the office to be presented with scholarships.
We are very grateful to Commissioner Fuller for making time in his busy schedule to come in and personally present the awards to Joshua Small.
Joshua is a keen rugby player and sports person, and he too has taken on a role model and leadership role for younger Legatees.

With 6 volt systems in vehicles prevalent during the war in Australia, the amount of batteries a unit must have gone through would have been incredibly high hence the number stacked up waiting to be charged at right of photo.

BEDELPH Amy Passed away October 7, 2016.
Esteemed and respected member of the Retired Police Association.
Born Amy Franklin on 5 May 1924 at Lilydale, one of 19 children, Amy is the eldest of the four daughters still living.
After Lilydale School, Amy joined the Women’s Land Army at 17, working in a Scottsdale market garden and later in a factory. The AWLA was established on 27 July 1942 as a national voluntary organisation to replace male farm workers who had either enlisted or were working in other essential war work such as munitions.
Later, Amy joined the Salvation Army, attending a Melbourne training college before her first posting to Kent Town, South Australia, followed by Jamestown and then on to Adelaide where she had her own church.
Back in Melbourne, Amy caught up with colleague Arthur Clee, whom she married, and they went on to Hamilton in north-western Victoria as Army officers.
Returning to Tasmania, Amy worked as an Officer at Smithton in the early 1950s and later as a bookbinder for The Mercury.
Initially appointed special constable on 1 April 1963, on 18 March 1966 she was appointed constable 570 (later 384). Arthur was then a constable and superintendent of the Hobart Police Boys Club. Why the police? Well, Arthur was naturally a big influence, but Amy also recalls Commissioner Delderfield’s words – “You may as well join too; you will enjoy it.” So she did. Amy was, I believe, the first married woman to be appointed, and the first whose husband was also a serving policeman. At that time, the role was largely a social welfare one, and it was what most women of that time expected and indeed enjoyed.
Amy assisted Arthur at Hobart Police Boys Club, and went on to be supervisor of the newly-formed Police Girls Club, which had been established in 1955, using the old Sackville Street garage premises as a base. Both clubs were amalgamated in 1964.
In June 1965, the then Commissioner and his wife, as patrons, expressed their appreciation to the Clees for ” …the devoted and dedicated service you have as husband and wife, apart from your both being members of the Tasmania Police Force, contributed to the standards achieved, the progress made, and the enthusiasm of the members of both Clubs.”
Commended, following the 1967 bushfire disaster, Amy transferred to Glenorchy on 19 May 1969. As the only policewoman at the station, she was effectively O.I.C. At this time, there were 14 other policewomen employed within Tasmania Police.
Amy resigned on 22 December 1972 and later married policeman Ivan Bedelph.
Today, Amy is a sprightly 91 years of age and a resident of “The Manor”, a lovely residential facility in Guy Street, Kings Meadows. Amy simply takes things as they come. Her “life story” hangs framed upon her wall, together with her badge and insignia. Amy regards it with no regrets and a large amount of pride.
LILYDALE – Lieut. Amy Franklin, of the Salvation Army, James Town, South Australia, is spending furlough with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Franklin, Lilydale.
Posting at discharge: 36 Australian Infantry Battalion
Morris was one of five Crossinghams that were born in Macksville, NSW that signed up for WW2 at different locations.
His brother, Arthur Reginald, NX18228, was killed in action in Egypt on 02/05/1941 aged 20, buried at the Tubruk War Cemetery, Lybia.
I only put this up because I was/am interested in the decoration that Morris is wearing on his right side and did some looking. Perhaps it could be his brothers war service medal.
According to the Australian War Memorial records, Arthur Crossingham, father of Morris and Arthur Reginald, and 2 other sons all served in WW2.
Thank you all for your service gentlemen.
National Archives have NOT scanned this man’s War documents at this time. (For information), A close family member can make a request to the Australian War Memorial/National Archives to have his records opened and made available to the public if they wish.

It’s 2020 Cam and it’s almost apocalyptic right now. Would love to know how you feel about what’s going on. We watched one of your favourite movies tonight and ironically the kids loved it although it’s a bit quirky… I love that they do love it! It shows your spirit lives on… Loved, remembered and cherished forever x

Tonight I sit and watch a movie that we both loved. A movie which our kids now love… but you’re missing. I know you’re with us but not in the physical way that we know. We will carry you with us forever and you will always be an integral part of our life. Your spirit lives on xx

I have lost one of the most important people in my life. Nothing will ever come close to you, as my big brother. You shaped who I am and I love that, cherish that, miss that. You were an amazing adventurer, story teller and brother.
You looked Forward to having kids and cousins to my kids. You achieved that, but sadly, not for long enough. You had so much love in your heart for your family.
It’s better to burn out, than to fade away.
Love you Brother.
