18.01.2022 National Police Remembrance Day 29th September "The Final Inspection" The policeman stood and faced his God,... Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining. Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My church have you been true?" The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, Because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep.... Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here. They never wanted me around Except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't.....I'll understand. There was silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly, For the judgment of his God. "Step forward now, policeman, You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell."

17.01.2022 ****ON THIS DAY IN 1864, bushrangers Ben Hall, Johnny Gilbert and John Dunn attack the Gundagai Mail Coach in November 1864, which is staunchly defended by Sgt ...Parry and Sub-Inspector O'Neill. Tragically, Sgt. Parry (played by Wesley Leseberg) was shot and killed in the conflict. The first policeman to be killed by the Hall-Gilbert Gang, his murder would eventually lead to three young men being declared outlaws by the Government. RIP Sgt. Edmund Parry. ************ Though set outside Jugiong, New South Wales this scene was filmed outside Lancefield in regional Victoria. See more
