1906: Natal Police (Colonial) Officers

This 1957 letter from the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Natal Division, responds to a request from the Military Historical Section regarding a photograph of Natal Police officers. The Deputy Commissioner supplies biographical notes on seven individuals—Lieut C.L. Archer, 1/Sgt C. Woodgate, R.S.M. W. Ingle, Maj O. Dimmick, Staff/Sgt S. Martin, J.B. Burdett (probable), and one of three possible candidates for the seventh figure: J.K. Popham, Lt Strange, or Edmond‑White. The correspondence suggests the photograph may date from the 1906 Natal‑Zululand Rebellion, when a composite unit was formed from the Natal Mounted Police, Natal Police Field Force, and Zululand Mounted Police. A second page notes the existence of the Natal Mounted Police / Natal Police Old Comrades Association and the difficulty of obtaining further information from surviving members.
