BLUE AND OLD GOLD, is a definitive history of the British South African Police from 1889 – 1980. 

 The BSAP, whose enviable reputation attracted young men from all over the world, was known as one the greatest police forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth. 

This book does these brave men and women proud.  With hundreds of photographs and interesting facts, anecdotes and tales, Peter Gibbs, Hugh Phillips and Nick Russell have put together a well recorded history that would appeal not to only those who were involved with, were past members or families of the BSAP, but to anyone who appreciates the work done by these fine men and women.
