Superintendent Stanley Charles White Strathclyde Police
The Man It is likely that Stanley Charles White was born in about 1920 as he was old enough to see service at home during world War II and be awarded the Defence Medal and War Medal 1939-45.
He married Mary Elizabeth Marshall in 1945 at Cathcart, Glasgow and joined one of the Scottish Police Forces, possibly the City of Glasgow, in about 1946. He was awarded the Royal Life Saving Society Bronze Medal in July 1946 as a Probationary Constable, having qualified in basic lifesaving and artificial respiration techniques. He also seems to have been a keen athlete being a member of the Police Athletic Association in 1952.
In 1955 he was living with Mary at 89 Boyd Street in Glasgow and still at the same address in 1962.
Stanley was promoted to Sergeant and awarded the Police Exemplary Service Medal as an Inspector in about 1968. He was then promoted to Chief Inspector and awarded the Silver Jubilee Medal 1977 as a Superintendent, now serving in Strathclyde Police, following its formation in 1975 and possibly upon his retirement after 30 years service.
No other detail is known about Stanley White.

The Story The medal group awarded to Stanley Charles White were acquired from E-Bay on 12th December 2020 and of interest because of the Silver Jubilee 1977 and Police Exemplary Service Medal combination. It was also good to have a named Royal Life Saving Society medallion with the group.
A search of Scotland’s People uncovered only one direct match, a marriage, which in turn enabled a handful of electoral registers to be located on Ancestry.UK. Sadly little additional information could be found on either site as there were a number of ‘possible’ Stanley Charles Whites.
Nevertheless, another interesting Police and Silver Jubilee 1977 combination.
