OBITUARY
40 Police March In Funeral Tribute
Police officers from all parts of the Lismore Police District, representing stations throughout the Richmond and Tweed River districts, paid a tribute at the funeral in Lismore yesterday of their comrade, Constable Albert Ernest Carlyle.
A member of the staff of the Lismore station, Constable Carlyle collapsed and died while on his way to Sydney seeking specialist attention.
Inspector J. E. Forsyth, Inspector in charge of the Lismore Police District, marched with about 40 members of the force in front of the hearse through the streets of the city, escorted by four police motor cyclists.
The police officers were transferred to cars at the intersection of Conway and Dawson Streets and paid a further tribute in the Lismore Church of England cemetery, where they formed a guard of honour and preceded the casket to the graveside.
The Rector of Lismore, Rev. J. V. Robinson, conducted a service in St. Andrew’s Church of England and also officiated at the cemetery.
