Paul Yes there are! http://www.policeorders.*co.*uk/ [remove asterisks first] This is a website which you can search to find info about your relatives, including their badge number. You can (I believe, although I haven't done this yet) use the badge number to get info from The National Archives, Kew. To find out more about it check out: http://www.catalogue.*nationalarchives.*gov.*uk/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=104 [remove asterisks first] Helen
