Honour Roll
ON THIS DAY WE REMEMBER
William C. RICHARDSON
Constable
On the 31st of October 1894, Constable Richardson was transporting 15 Bunuba resistance fighters to Derby, assisted by two trackers, Jandamarra (known as Pigeon) and Captain.
The party camped at Lennard Police Camp on Lillamaloora Station, West Kimberley, whilst Pigeon and Captain left to capture a local man.
At some point after returning to camp, Constable Richardson was asleep when Pigeon shot him and released all the prisoners.
On the 1st of April 1897, Pigeon was shot by a police patrol near his hideout in the caves of the King Leopold Ranges in the Kimberley.
Events
WA Police Legacy conducts a variety of social and fundraising events throughout the year.
Such as High Teas, Bingo, River Cruise, Lunches, plus Charity Cycle rides, Golf, Footy, Rugby and our Gala Ball.
We hope to see you at our next event!
The Police Ode
As the sun surely sets:
dawn will see it arise,
for service, above self,
demands its own prize.
You have fought the good fight:
life’s race has been run,
and peace, your reward,
for eternity begun.
And we that are left,
shall never forget,
rest in peace friend and colleague,
for the sun has now set.
We will remember.
We will remember.
Hasten the dawn.
