Hello,
I am trying to obtain a copy of an article from the "Police Journal", published in May 1925, pages 20, 21. The article is entitled "THE NATIONS FINEST".
The reason for obtaining this article is that one of the officers pictured in this article is most likely my great grandfather, Frank B. Kelly. He was one of the original 33 members of "The White House Police". I have a photocopy of the article, however, the quality is so poor, that I cannot discern the individual faces in the picture.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Paul Kelly
