John Green – son of Police Constable (PC 49) Jack Green
Playing in Mile lane as a 10-year-old with my mates I noticed this old man making his way from the city centre. Just young boys having fun when this “old man” said to me ‘Hello son’. It was my father, covered in dust and dirt which disguised his police uniform.
That man of 40 years of age had become an “old man” overnight due to the stressful sights he had seen. Like all those people who witnessed those dreadful times he never spoke about them.
