Where is SNR Sgt Hugh Abercrombie? D: 1930.
Hi Sarah,
Hugh Abercrombie was not mentioned in the related article.
If you have information on Hugh, I would be more than happy to do a Memorial Post for him, upon the website.
I can tell you that he joined the Police on 24 February 1865, with Service number 1565, and was born in 1839 in Ireland.
