Honour Roll
ON THIS DAY WE REMEMBER
Rocket
Aboriginal Police Assistant
On the 21st of March 1895, Constable Evans and Police Assistants Rocket and Jackey were attacked by a mob who had been killing cattle on Messrs Durack Bros. Stud Station.
The mob were followed into thick bamboo scrub in the bed of the Ord River, Wyndham.
Police Assistant Rocket was leading the group and following tracks when he was speared in the body, he fired his rifle and fell shouting, "Look out, me speared".
Police Assistant Rocket died a short time later.
Police Assistant Rocket was carried upriver and buried in a grave near the river.
Events
WA Police Legacy conducts a variety of social and fundraising events throughout the year.
Such as High Teas, Bingo, River Cruise, Lunches, plus Charity Cycle rides, Golf, Footy, Rugby and our Gala Ball.
We hope to see you at our next event!
The Police Ode
As the sun surely sets:
dawn will see it arise,
for service, above self,
demands its own prize.
You have fought the good fight:
life’s race has been run,
and peace, your reward,
for eternity begun.
And we that are left,
shall never forget,
rest in peace friend and colleague,
for the sun has now set.
We will remember.
We will remember.
Hasten the dawn.
