Celebrate Reg.#14611, Constable W. J. H. Beardsworth

Celebrate Reg.#14611, W. J. H. Beardsworth

'Friends Not Forgotten'

OK, it's August 2012. The London Olympics will come to a close but that doesn't mean that we (the RCMP) can't find other reasons to celebrate.

'Why'? Here's one. 

Reg.#14611, Constable William John Hudson Beardsworth joined the Force in August 1943. He was posted to 'D', 'G' & 'Depot' Div's. 

But, Constable Beardsworth had a change of heart. He went on to university studies.  Essentially, he decided to fill a necessary gap in community and to serve Canadians in another proud capacity. 

After five years service, Constable Beardsworth 'Purchased his Discharge'. It was August, 1948 -- over sixty years ago. Not unusual, eh?

Constable Beardswoth became a physician. It's now Dr. Beardsworth, MD. That's special. Olympic style.

Canada requires both: good doctors and good police officers.

There are lots of reasons to celebrate the RCMP. If one looks.

Records, a wonderful help from (now deceased) O.795, Vet Jack White
