Order of St. John grouping, some questions ...

[Hendrik]

Gents,

 

I've recently acquired  a set of 5 items once awarded to Brinley R. Evans of the Priory of Wales of the Order of St. John. There is the Serving Brother Badge, a Service Medal (2 bars) and 3 items I have no information on. This leads me to the following questions :

 

The rim inscription on the Serving Brother Badge reads : "CORP. SUPT. B.R. EVANS ANDREW  CORP. 1957"

I'm assuming the "rank" abbreviation stands for Corporation Superintendent  ? Does anyone know of the Andrew Corporation, a charitable organisation perhaps ?

 

On the Service Medal, the rim inscription is : "26508 D/SUPT. B.R. EVANS PRIORY for WALES"

Deputy Superintendent, I'm thinking ...

 

 

As to the remaining three items, all information is welcome  - identification as to what they are would already be great !

 

 

 

Silver marks are all Birmingham ones for either 1930 or 1934  - The makers' marks TJS and A.S & Co. don't ring any bells with me ...

 

Regards,

Hendrik

The abbreviation means "Corps" as in 1st Ambulance Corps or similar. Div. Supt. is an abbreviation for Divisional Superintendent.

Thank you for your reply, Dave.

 

I'm finding it odd that the "CORP." should stand for "Corps" as there seems to be sufficient space for an  "S" instead of the dot ...

 

 

D/ for Division ... should have thought of that myself 😉

 

 

Regards,

Hendrik
