A moment of your time.

A friend sent me a photograph this morning, which comes from the Facebook page of the Metropolitan Police Service in London.

With it......

"Officer remembered - PC Albert James Blake

PC Albert James Blake, one of the tallest officers in the MPS at over seven feet tall, was a serving police officer when he was called up to join the London Scottish Regiment in 1917.

Just a few months into his service on 29 November 1917 he received a gunshot wound to his right arm and was sent back home to receive treatment. Despite his injuries he returned back to the front line in France where he was shot for a second time above his right eye in August 1918.

However, his courage and bravery knew no bounds, as he returned to the Metropolitan Police Service he was awarded a bravery medal for saving several people from a burning building in Belgravia."
