Henry Eagles - Gloucestershire Constabulary 1800's (General)

Henry was my great grandfather and as a Pc was stationed in what is now Littledean Jail. He moved to Woolaston in about 1845 and was the first officer to occupy the then police house on the A48.

I have a collection of Gloucestershire Constabulary memorabilia but am one badge short and that is the Queen Victoria Crown helmet plate that Henry would have worn when he joined the force.

If anyone has a QVC helmet plate that they are prepared to accept offers for, or any photographs of Henry in his uniform, the old police station at the jail or the police house on the A48 then I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to read this message.
