Mervyn Mitton Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Although they are to a particularly sought after unit - The London Scottish (14 - London Regiment) - they are still only a WW1 Pair. However, he was in the St. John's Ambulance Brigade and received the special named Coronation medal in 1911. Only (approx) 2600 were issued to the Brigade and this is the first I have seen for many years. St. John's is always highly collected. What also makes this an interesting group is that we have photos of Peters wearing his tam-o-shanter and the badge shown here , also, his wife and son. One thing that puzzles me is that he is named on the Coronation as Pte. F.A.Peters. I wasn't aware that the St.John's personnel were called Private - perhaps he was a territorial with the London Scottish at that time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
