Some very sad news to report that one of our men has tragically passed.

George Baldock, known as Gorgeous George around our club, was on duty for the firies as he has been for 17 years when he suffered a medical episode.

George was a prolific wicket keeping all rounder for us but more importantly a great bloke and a genuine asset to any team.

Rest In Peace George. Gone way too soon

George, thank you for all your friendship, your kind heart, your sense of humour and your honesty. I will always cherish our friendship and you will be forever missed. Rest easy my friend and I will see you soon
Alex lit a candle for George Baldock

 

 
    George you were great to work with and we used to have ‘frank’ talks in the truck at Liverpool Police Station. You were professional, knowledgeable and had a lot of patience when dealing with me and other junior police. Every shift your hair was done perfectly with not a strand out of place, you always insisted upon driving (perhaps because you were scared of my driving) and you used to try and talk me out of getting McDonalds on each occasion. You were a great mentor to have around. Hearing the eulogies today, it appears that everyone had as much respect for you as what I did and you will be dearly missed by all.

          DETECTIVE’S WIDOW IN THE ‘FORCE’

          Tall, attractive Mrs. Madge Welby, said this week that she had joined the Police Force because she had always been interested in her dead husband‘s work.

          Mrs. Welby is the widow of Detective-Constable E. S. (“Frank”) Welby, who died of heart trouble in March.

          He had been attached to Regent Street Police Station for more than four years.

          Mrs. Welby, who had just been sworn-in as a police-woman, said: “I felt I’d grown to belong to the Police Force, and I love children.

          “My work in the police school lecturing section should give me the chance to satisfy both these interests.

          “it will let me serve the community in the way I’d like best.”

          Mrs. Welby said she had no children of her own, but “more than 30 nephews and nieces.”

          Before her marriage she had worked as a machinist, she said.

          Australian police leave Cyprus ending ‘rite of passage’ after 53 years

          Nicosia: With its flag lowered one final time, Australia has ended 53 years of helping to keep the peace on ethnically divided Cyprus by pulling out its last three police officers serving with a United Nations peacekeeping force.

          Some 1600 Australian police officers have served in Cyprus since 1964 following the outbreak of violence between the island’s Greek and Turkish communities.

          Three Australians were killed in the line of duty in what was their country’s first policing contribution to a peacekeeping mission.

          A flag-lowering ceremony at the Cypriot capital’s defunct airport, which serves as the UN force’s headquarters, brought together many officers who served in Cyprus over the decades, including one who was in the first 40-strong contingent, 79-year-old Ian Hardy.

          “Cyprus has been a rite of passage for Australian police,” retired police superintendent Phil Spence said, adding that all officers who went on to lead other peacekeeping missions elsewhere in the world were veterans of Cyprus.

          Australia’s federal police commissioner, Andrew Colvin, said that what served Australians well over decades of service was a “steely determination” and a practicality underneath Australians’ famed laid-back style.

          It was the excellent rapport with ordinary Cypriots that saw Australian police through the toughest times, said Allan Mitchell, 70, who served on Cyprus during the northern summer of 1974, when Turkey invaded and split the island along ethnic lines following a coup by supporters of union with Greece.

          Australia was also the first peacekeeping contributor to deploy a female officer to Cyprus, in 1988. Its last contingent commander is also a woman – Inspector Bronwyn Carter.

          Colvin said Australia is willing to share its federal policing experience if talks now underway succeed in reunifying Cyprus as a federation.

          A 2015 rethink of Australia’s overseas peacekeeping commitments called for the redeployment of personnel on missions closer to home and to help combat the threat of terrorism.

          Some 69 police officers from countries including Ireland, India and Italy augment 835 troops wearing the UN’s blue beret in Cyprus.
