* Story behind any Nickname:

 


 

Inspector John "Trooper" Trent is a relation to the family on my wife, Helen's side, and we were very sad to lose him. Even at 92. He was, as I always saw him, a "Bonza Bloke." We spent part of our honeymoon at John and Nora's, visiting when John was stationed at Candelo Police Station. The Police Station had its own Court Room and lock-up cells. Quite self-contained and was the residency as well. I have attached two photos. One is of John and Nora's wedding with junior bridesmaids, right front, Helen Smith (my future wife), and her sister Marie, left front. The other photo is of John and I sitting in the backyard of the Police Station at Candelo, 57 years ago, chatting with John's daughter Juanita. REST IN PEACE... INSPECTOR JOHN 'TROOPER' TRENT.
