SERGEANT FRED D. MARKLAND

SERGEANT MARKLAND was born in Adding-
ton County, Ontario, December 5, 1875.

He came to British Columbia in 1906, and
joined the B. C. Police on April 4, 1912, at
Vancouver.

In March, 1917, he enlisted in the Canadian
Engineers and served in France with that unit.
In March, 1919, he transferred to the Military
Police, and was ultimately discharged with the
rank of Corporal at Vancouver, April, 1920.

The next month he was back in the police at
Vancouver. In 1921 he was transferred to
Revelstoke, and later to Kimberley, Prince Rupert
and Lockport. In 1926 he was back in Prince
Rupert as Corporal. But he was not to rest there,
for he was soon transferred back to Vancouver.
Then he moved to Kimberley, and back to Van-
couver again. Next he moved to Grand Forks and
later, believe it or not, back to Vancouver. His
next move was to Ashcroft. In April, 1931, he
was promoted to Sergeant, and a month later
found himself at Alberni. In September, 1934,
he was moved to Revelstoke and the next month
he was back at his present station, Ashcroft.

There are only three men on the strength
today whose length of continuous service exceeds
that of Sergeant Markland. We have an idea he
could give some worthwhile hints on packing
