Palestine Police Badge 1920's-1940's
Today we found a newspaper clipping containing the death notices for
Maria Teeney who died 16th October 1945 at 33 Oregon Street, Belfast.
One of the death notices was from her brother Robert Morrow,
276 Alliance Avenue, Belfast. On his notice it is mentioned that
his occupation is “Palestine Police”.
I have contacted the Palestine Police Old Comrades Association
in the hope of getting some information on Robert and his role with the
Palestine Police. I will also be searching the National Archives online.
