I am emailing to request the police pay scales from 1934-1945. I recently attended a police history talk during which it showed an advert for the recruiting female police between the years 1935 and 1945. The advert did not have an author, an indication of the year published or the magazine of origin. I believe the pay scales can help narrow down the 11 year range.
