CID 1975 Frank Hammond's Retirement

Frank "Gruff" Hammond's Retirement Photo

Not surprisingly we have now been able to identify everyone in this photo taken at the time of Frank Hammond’s retirement in 1975. As usual, Davie Kerr, who to the best of our knowledge never worked in CID, was a great help identifying most of those present. Terry Cabral spotted the fact that it was Campbell Simons on the back row between Frank DeAllie and Norrell Hull, while “Moby” Pett picked out Carol Holdipp and Alan Bolton.

George Rose kindly provided the photograph and if you would like a copy we can send it to you by email in a fairly high resolution.

The names are now listed below.

Hi, I am doing a family tree and my grandads uncle is Frank Hammond who was sent to the Bermuda Police force. I have a feeling this may be the same man. Would it be possible to have this photo in a higher resolution please? Many thanks xEditors note - Many thanks for wirint to us Suzanne. I have sent you a better quality copy of this group shot taken at the time of Mr. Hammond's retirement plus a photo of him with our senior officers shortly after he arrived in Bermuda as our Detective Supt in charge of CID in 1967. Mr. Hammond was a very well respected detective with tremendous experience.

Yes that is Chris Moyse.Many thanks Terry. Would you, or anyone else know where we could contact Chris?
Yes actually I do. But according to your website I am not allowed to say so.Editors note: I'm not sure what Terry is referring to. We asked several colleagues if they could assist in tracing Chris Moyse but they had lost contact with him. Terry, if you have his contact details please let us know so we can add him to our List of Colleagues.

You are quite aware Mr. Sherratt. If your colleagues can't assist that has nothing to do with me.Emails provide what we discussed.Please don't paint me here.Thank you.Editors Note: Unfortunately, Terry no longer has any contact details for Chris but if anyone has any suggestions for locating him we would appreciate it.
