6. 16th Independent Company
A Band of ‘Saboteurs’ from the Company
tested the security of a recently
introduced Home Office Mobile Police
Column. The exercise showed that it was
no use to point an empty Browning
automatic pistol in the direction of an
oncoming & rapidly accelerating sixteen
stone Constable. Despite a valiant effort
by the twenty members of the Company,
all were captured. The remainder of the
exercise was spent naked in Ollerton
Prison. At the social that was held
afterwards it was observed by Sgt. Joe
Nicholson’s friends that most of the Police
already seemed to know him quite well!
