Lanarkshire Constabulary Centenary Booklet

In addition to ‘The Vigilantia’ magazines, the collection contains a special booklet published in 1957 to commemorate the Centenary of Lanarkshire Constabulary. This booklet features details of the centenary, information on a series of short plays and provides a list of the cast members involved in these performances.
