From Peter Gould:
John was former Liverpool (22 Division). In 1973 John was riding home from work on his motorbike when he was involved in a car accident.
John suffered severe head injuries and I vividly recall us driving his wife to visit him at Lidcombe when he was in re-hab. John never recovered from his brain injury.
I also remember John visiting us at the SWOS office.
Prior to the accident John was an extremely fit fella and from memory was previously an Army P.T.I.
August 11 at 6:07pm
John was, apparently, a regular visitor to the Redfern Police Academy and Mounted Unit.
When joining NSW Police Force in 1961, John was described as being 5′ 10″ tall, 11 stone 6 lb with blue eyes, brown hair and medium complexion.
When he joined he was single but married on 24 August 1962.
Prior to joining “the job” he was a labourer for 2 years 2 months, a Garage attendant for 3 months and shop assistant for 9 months.
On the 17 August 1962 he passed his typing test with 20 w.p.m.
He Passed his Constable 1st Class exam on 22 September 1964.
He was Roman Catholic.
The following note was recorded on his Service Register:
Commended for his good Policemanship whist off duty on 1st February 1962, when on entering a Milk Bar in Crown Street, Surry Hills, he overheard a man named Paul Wishart inform tow youths he had bought a wireless set cheap from an unknown person and he believed it was stolen. The Probationary Constable then questioned Wishart who subsequently accompanied the Probationary Constable to No. 21 Division Headquarters. Wishart was later charged with having a transistor wireless set in his possession reasonably suspected of being stolen or unlawfully obtained, and convicted.

20 March 1962
.
Awarded the ” Peter Mitchell Trophy ” for 1966 for the ” Most Outstanding Sportsman of the Year ”
N.T.W. Allan, Commissioner of Police
17 March 1967
After being absent from the NSW Police Force for 2 years & 9 months – whilst serving with the Royal Australian Army Provost Corps during the Vietnam War – John rejoined the NSW Police Force pre February 1972.
He returned just under 1 stone heavier, at 12 stone 5 lb and was still married.
On the 15 September 1972 he passed his General Duty Cars & Utilities / Light Trucks course at the Drive Training Centre.
