Quite probably Constable David Arthur BOWICK This article is from 1942 - 12 years after the above photo was taken. This image may have been for completion of his training: Police Constable David Arthur Bowick was fined £10 in the Magistrate's Court to-day for resigning from the police force on December 31 without express authority from the Minister of Justice. Inspector Carroll, in evidence, said that Constable Bowick tendered his resignation in November, as he had bought a business. He had been 13 years in the force. The Minister had refused to accept his resignation. Since Constable Bowick's resignation had been received, two other constables had been allowed to resign. Constable Bowick, in evidence, said a despicable act on the part of the police authorities, when he was relieving the constable at Woolston last year, made him think that the police had little further use for him. He started in business on January 1. Counsel for Constable Bowick contended that the ruling of Mr. Justice Fair in the Kilgour case in Auckland affected Constable Bowick's case, but this view was not accepted by the magistrate, who imposed a fine of £10. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AS19420130.2.38
