Person:Charles Western (2)

Charles Western writes in his narrative:

 "Member of the City of London Police and enjoyed his beat at Billingsgate Fish Market. Definitely a non-teetotaller but he managed to reach pensionable age! Home life was unhappy. Retired to Exeter and presumably became a reformed character since he joined St. Thomas Methodist Church. Last years were saddened by the amputation of a leg."
