Shaz, my dad was taken to see his dad, was only told that we was a mounted policeman, I am thinking when someone says mounted police you think of canada. I think he could have been English? |

Lisa Policemen used horses as transport before cars (and they still do use horses). But they wouldn't be Canadian in Cornwall. What exactly is the information you have and what are you trying to find out? nell |
