  • This PDF is a hand written notebook which appears to have been prepared by a Mr Henry Coulls - Preventive Officer - for subsequent publication by HMSO as a 'List of Waterguard Officers serving on 1st April 1911, showing Date of Birth and Date of Entry into Service'. It also indicates their rank at the time - although some appear to be later, undated, alterations.

Pete's outstanding artistic talent combined with his sharp wit and humour, saw the 'day to day' life of the Waterguard in a refreshingly unique light. His drawings seemed to appear almost daily, reflecting the life at Heathrow - the highs and the lows, the funny and the absurd. A selection of his cartoons - not restricted to his Waterguard days - can be viewed here.
