Mark Shelford is the Police & Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset. He is also the grandson of Frank Brock, who was a British Officer in the Royal Artillery, the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, the Royal Navy Air Service and finally the Royal Air Force.

He invented the explosive bullet that destroyed the German Zeppelins and devised and executed the smoke screen used during the Zeebrugge Raid in April 1918 during an attempt by the Royal Navy to block the Belgian Port of Bruges-Zeebrugge during the First World War.
