Sergeant Glyn Jones of the Cardiff Dock division of the British Transport Police, being presented with the Royal Humane Society Testimonial on Vellum by the Lord mayor of Cardiff, Alderman T.E.Merrels for life-saving. The presentation was made at the Lord Mayor's Parlour. Mrs Jones looks on.
Photograph and article published in 'DOCKS' magazine, September/October 1970: 'On a bitterly cold morning in March (1970) Sergeant Jones stripped off his jacket and went to the assistance of a woman who had been spotted floating on her back in the freezing waters of the East Dock. With considerable difficulty, Sergeant Jones managed to get a lifebelt around the woman and although hampered by the steep walls of the lock, he managed to get her ashore where she later recovered.'
