"Sleuth away" for a man with an address as Polce Station! Was he a policeman in Hawick?

Delboy,
I'm kicking myself as I posted the Dalmally photos but never for a minute picked up the fact Archie was listed there.
Thanks for the new link.
The plot thickens.

And a Sergeant at 22 years of age?
Does this suggest a prior service in the Police?
