1910 circa - Patrick Joseph Carrucan in Police Uniform

Patrick Joseph Carrucan (1860-1920), the eldest son of Peter Carrucan and Hannah Woods, was employed as a Constable in the police force in 1882. He was promoted to Senior Constable in 1901, Sergeant 2nd Class in 1907, Sergeant 1st Class in 1911 and to Sub-Inspector on 29th March 1915. We believe he spent some time working at Pentridge Goal in Melbourne. If we assume him to be around 50 years of age at the time of this photo, it would be placed circa 1910. Photo provided by David Reinger, the husband of Meron Mildred Reinger nee Renault, who is a great grand daughter of Peter Carrucan and Hannah Woods.
