Be Sober, Be Vigilant! Mounted Police in Victorian London

On Friday 25th January Chris Forester will be giving an illustrated talk entitled, "Be Sober, Be Vigilant! Mounted Police in Victorian London".

Chris Forester joined the Metropolitan Police in 1972 and in '75 found his metier in the Mounted Branch, remaining with them for the next 28 years. He ended his career on the training staff at Imber Court and while there he was responsible for setting up their museum. This was opened by Princess Alexandra and subsequently visited by the Queen, Princess Diana and other senior members of the Royal Family. He has developed a keen interest in police history, is an experienced lecturer and is a contributing member of the Metropolitan Police History Group.

The meeting will be in the Balsam Centre and will start with our AGM at 7.00pm. This will be brief and followed by refreshments and Chris Forester's talk.
