Fred Todd.
Pte. 6797. Guards M.G.C.
19 Rutland St, Accrington.
Former Accrington Borough Police Constable.
Not found anything in the papers out him yet,
or any pictures of him.
I do remember a Todd on Accy Police force, the one I knew was an Inspector, don't know if its the same man or not.
You had to be 6ft or more to get on Accy police, quite a number of them served in WW1.
A few of them were reservists and were called up in August 1914. The other one I knew was Joe Firth, he was in the Grenadier Guards.
Retlaw.
