Re: Reg.#4708, Percy Rose
Thank you very much, for this tremendous service you are doing. My grandfather joined the RNWMP on May 8, 1908. He was a constable and corporal.
On May 1, 1917 he joined the Northern Manitoba Provincial Police as a constable and left December 31, 1924 joining the Manitoba Provincial Police on January 1, 1925. He became sergeant and on April 1, 1932.

Seventy-four of the then 85 MPP, joined the RCMP. He retired May 31, 1936. I have all his discharge papers, long service medal, RNWMP and RCMP badges.
He was stationed in The Pas, Thompson, Swan River, etc. all the way to Churchill. I have his photo album of the frozen North. I will take a photo of his gravestone for you.
Kind regards,
D. Wendy McAlpine, daughter of Dorothy Mary McAlpine(nee:Rose) granddaughter of Percy Rose
