Top of the spine of a red hardback book reading in gilt "QUEER PEOPLE / BASIL THOMSON".
The latest addition to our memoirs shelf (c/o an @oxfamgb.bsky.social bookshop!) is this 1922 offering by Basil Thomson, head of Met CID throughout the First World War and counter-espionage guru. Needless to say none of us came to the Museum dressed as him this morning ... #WorldBookDay #WWI #PGM

Table of transfers on an officer's service record, including from 31 January to 1 September 1983 one to A11 Department.
#HiveMind time again ... What was the Met's A11 Department as of January 1983? (Also featuring Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department, an early incarnation of part of the present-day Protection Command, fact fans.)

Section of pigskin, now turned brown, with labelled squares drawn onto it, each fired at from a different range and with different powder by Churchill.
Gunsmith Robert Churchill fired guns found in a Battersea garage at this section of pigskin (the closest animal skin in thickness to human skin) to find out which had been used to murder PC George Gutteridge in Essex in the early hours of 27 Sep 1927. #NationalPigDay #Forensics125 #CM150 #ballistics

Section of Davies' pension register entry reading "John Davies late a Constable was discharged from this Division on account of Ill health on the 2nd day of June 1857, to which day inclusive he will receive his Pay, and he is entitled to a Pension of £36,,0,,0 per Annum, commencing on the 3rd day of June 1857 payable by the Receiver."
The Receiver was the Met's chief finance officer at the time, whilst £36 would have £2,871.27 of purchasing power today.
John Davies (1806-1861) joined the Met aged 26, spending his whole service as a PC on L (Lambeth) Division. He retired due to ill health on 2 June 1857 and moved to Rhosymedre, less than two miles from his birthplace in Ruabon, Denbighshire. #DyddGŵylDewiHapus #CymruAmByth #StDavidsDay #StDavid'sDay
