VBCW POLICE (1)

The Herefordshire Constabulary have not had an easy time during the VBCW. 

First introduced in a vain attempt to 'keep the peace' during the County Golf Challenge, an entire section was 'blown away' at the start of the tournament, even before the factions got down to the truly serious sport (of blowing each other up). Short of officers, the Constabulary then had to endure the intervention in the County's affairs of Superintendant Ronald Bigsworth-Hill and the Wiltshire Police Flying Column, only to find its own newly raised forces (including a solitary anti tank gun) either defeated, destroyed or "defecting" to other factions during the Battle of Mortimer's Cross :

It did not seem as if they had won 'the hearts and minds' of the locals....

Faced with these disastrous results, the County Watch Committee decided upon the appointment of a new Chief Constable, the highly experienced Reginald Recurrin-Lockdowne. Within a very short period of time, the "new broom" had raised, trained and uniformed several sections of Auxiliary Constabulary, and from somewhere (it is best not to enquire too closely) obtained a great deal of heavy weaponry.....

These newly raised forces were soon to put to the test in the north west of the County, restoring order and preserving property against an anonymous but free roaming band of "notorious scallywags":

The Herefordshire Constabulary defend a village against a 'scallywag'
armoured attack. Seen here are two Anti Tank Guns, a mortar, and
a marching section of Police Auxiliaries.

Within the village, lying in wait, are two armoured cars of the Constabulary's
 Armoured Section (Light) and a tank of the Armoured Section (Heavy). Further
sections of Auxiliary Constabulary advance in support in the background.

Yet further back, but stoutly advancing, are the remaining elements of the 
Armoured Section (Heavy), including a tracked "Big Gun", supported by
further infantry sections and support weapons....
