officer marwin a. wicklund on the job

You may recall the story of Officer Marwin A. Wicklund whom we honored in a post on May 24.

Officer Wicklund was the only member of the Minneapolis Police Department ever to be killed while on military duty.

In this photograph, Officer Wicklund is shown (right) writing a citation for streetcar driver Katherine Hanson (center) as Officer Carl Johnson (left) looks on.

This photograph was taken on June 25, 1944, just five weeks before Officer Wicklund was accepted into the Marines.
