One man and his dog host a CID Party
When we first pubished the photograph below we mentioned that now we're stepping back in time! You may have recognized Detective Milton Murray Marsh (seated 2nd from right) who kindly supplied the photograph, but how about the rest of the group? What's the occasion, what year was it taken, and who is the man with the dog?
Well, the photograph was taken in 1958 at the home of Lt. Col C.J.R Newing (former Head of C.I.D.) with a group of CID Officers. They were all identified by the gentleman standing at top left - Ian Morrison who was a young CID officer at the time. They are listed below the photograph.

Editors note - Sadly, Hubert Simmons passed away in December 2014. CLICK HERE for an article about Hubert in our Hall of Fame, but we have just received delightful news that the young detective, D.C. John L. Hobbs who is now 94 years of age is enjoying life and lives on a citrus farm in Brazil. His nephew Clive Hobbs had obviously spotted this article on the internet and has written us with this news. We hope to obtain more information about his uncle.
