Tales of the North-West Mounted Police: Daring adventures of the world-famous Canadian force

Tench, Charles Victor: 1894?-1964?. Would appear to have been Charles Victor Tench of Vancouver, who worked for the RCMP as a special constable for 2 months in 1941; wrote fictitious articles about police life, variously using the initials C.V., C.W., and C.F. (Letter from RCMP historian). // Tench sometimes claimed to be narrating from the experiences of a William Brockie. A similar work, Tales of the Mounted (Toronto: Ryerson Press, c1949 and New York: Didier, [1949]), is attributed to William Brockie (1811-1890), who may have been English, given his other works on English folklore and local history.
