Subject: REQ: Photo ID, Minneapolis, c 1920, Police Dept
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2004 23:21:06 -0400


My grandfather recently passed and left a photo (framed) of his father
when he was with the Minneapolis City Police Department.

All I know is that he's one of the men (not a captain). He served
between at least 1916 and 1930, retiring sometime before 1942.

Any help about where the photo might have been taken, what the
different uniform hats mean, how I can identify which man is my
ggfather would be appreciated. It appears that a number is on the
caps. Would that be his badge number? If so, how can I figure out what
badge number he had?

The photo and my email are posted at:

TIA!
