Summary

Colour postcard of the Mounted Police Barracks in Adelaide. Police are standing in the grounds in a square formation and include foot and mounted police and also a group of police with bicycles on the left. A large group of men and women [perhaps invited members of the public?] are in the middle of the formation. The image portrays a testimonial parade held at the South Australia Police Barracks, North Terrace to honour Detective William H. Northridge, who had pursued a "criminal lunatic" named George Brown, who had fired eleven .45 calibre revolver shots into the public, before Detective Northridge single-handedly arrested him in the River Torrens parklands [information provided by a researcher]. The postcard has a written message on the back. For further details see article 'Presentation to Detective Northridge' in the 'Herald', Saturday 31 March 1906, page 3.
