Police Step Out in New Uniforms Melbourne saw the new-style police uniforms for the first time when this batch of young constables marched through the city today from the training depot in St. Kilda Road to police headquarters. After a duty parade inspection at Russell Street, the men were allotted their barracks quarters. Tomorrow they will be drafted to the traffic branch for duty. One of the youngest of them. Constable R. G. Williams, of Caulfield, not yet 21, was wearing two rows of war service ribbons and several rosettes on his jacket. He served round the world in the Royal Navy for nearly six years in the Second World War. March 12, 1947.
