Just heard that Box's ex-Village Bobby, PC John Bosley has been chosen to be on BBC1, 9th November, Cenotaph Remembrance Service, 11 - 12 am. 

You can read John's story of life in Box at: http://www.boxpeopleandplaces.co.uk/pc-john-bosley.html

You won't fail to recognise him on TV. John is the one with the ram-rod straight back and pride in his eyes.

Box village is proud that you are one of us, John Bosley.
