X P.L.Jackson Esq. 31 Grove Avenue,Vicar's Cross,Chester.CH3 5HL.Dear Mr. Jackson,Thank you for your most interesting letterrelating to the late Col. Pulteney Malcolm,unfortunately the article in the "ChesterChronicle" is a little misleading in as much as itgives the impression that Col. Malcolm was injuredduring World War 1, when in fact this is not thecase.I as a retired Cheshire police officer and now avoluntary Trustee and Researcher for the Museum ofPolicing in Cheshire, have been researching Col.Malcolm for the last two years in order that atribute to his most Gallant Actions during hisMilitary career and his service with Cheshire asChief Constable could be made, this coincidingwith the Constabularies 150th Anniversary. To thisend I am making a presentation frame which willcontain his picture and medals, which have beenkindly loaned to the Museum by the Malcolm family.I have also written a synopsis of his life, whichyou may be interested in reading. This synopsiswill also appear in the presentation. If you don'tmind I will pass your letter on to Dr. NapierMalcolm, who is the great Nephew of Col. Malcolm,I feel sure he may be interested in your commentsabout Captain Malcolm.The Cheshire Constabulary was formed in April1857; there are many thousands of records, theseare held by the Cheshire Record Office, Chester.Cheshire Police Officer Enrolment Records are heldunder Reference CJP7 Volumes 1-5. These fivevolumes are very large and in poor condition, runfrom 1857- 22 March 1913; and contain all mannerof information, in particular the officer'smisconduct reports. Sadly this is where therecords end and although we have a list of namesof officer's post March 1913, we are uncertain ifthis list contains every officer. As you have notstated your late father details, I am assuming hewas Superintendent Frank Lionel Jackson, whojoined the force on the 22 August 1914 and retiredon pension on the 31 January 1944. The Pension's(Register CJP20/2/1, 1857-1965) records that hewas aged 50 years and 1 month on retirement,having served a total of 29 years 163 days. Hisannual pay on retirement was £550 and his pensionwas £366 per annum and sadly this is all theinformation we have.If this is your late father and you have anyfurther information that you would like to givethe Museum relating to his service with theConstabulary and the Military we would very muchappreciate it. I would also appreciate his dateand place of birth and date and place of death.This will be retained in the Museums database forfuture generations.Once again thank you for taking the time to writeto us, if you could send any return information tomy home address, 20 Llandovery Close, Winsford,Cheshire. CW7 1NA. I can add the information fromhere.With sincere best wishes.Jim Talbot.Trustee and ResearcherMuseum of Policing in Cheshire.The Curator, Museum of Policing in Cheshire,Warrington Police Station, Arpley Street,Warrington, Cheshire, WA1 1LQ
