Correction

Re this entry - John William Fordham DC 45 Metropolitan Police 26 January 1985 Stabbed during the Brink's-Mat robbery.

Not "during" - he was actually engaged in a later undercover operation against suspects in that robbery, and was stabbed by one of them (the notorious Kenneth Noye) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brink%27s-Mat_robbery#Arrests
