A Campaign for Heroes: George Barnsley's Quest
Description
In this emotionally charged episode of "Crime Time Inc," we journey back to Lanarkshire, Scotland, where two separate acts of incredible bravery went unrecognized for far too long. In 1976, George Taylor, a local Policeman, confronted escaped psychiatric hospital inmates in a deadly encounter. Seven years later, in 1983, Police Sergeant Ross Hunt met a tragic fate while attempting to arrest a suspect for attempted murder.
Join us as ex-Superintendent George Barnsley shares the harrowing details of these events and the profound impact they had on the community. Discover how, decades later, George embarked on a passionate campaign to ensure that the bravery of these fallen officers received the recognition it rightfully deserved. It's a story of heroism, justice delayed, and one man's unwavering determination to honour the memory of Lanarkshire's forgotten heroes.
