Here we are offering an exceptional medal group and associated pieces belonging to Royal Canadian Navy Captain Arthur F. Peers. Peers’ medal group comprises: Order of the British Empire, 1914-1918 War Medal, 1914-1919 Peace Medal, 1939-1945 Star, Atlantic Star, 1939-1945 Voluntary Service Medal, 1945 Victory Medal w/Dispatch Clasp, 1953 Coronation medal, and the Canadian Forces Decoration. The accompanying miniature medal set is included and also professionally court-mounted. Along with the medals is a gold naval insignia lapel pin and an Honorary Officer’s Meritorious Service medal for the Canadian Legion. In WWII Peers was mentioned in dispatches “for outstanding skill and devotion to duty in building up a mine recovery organization which proved itself highly efficient…” This entire collection has been expertly mounted framed at considerable expense for impactful wall display. Outside the display, also included are the original silk-lined medal and pin cases from Gieves and Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company of London, an original typed copy describing Captains Peers' mention in dispatches, and a framed photo of the captain. Adding considerable further interest is an authentic pair of WWII German Kriegsmarine binoculars that were presented to Peers when he oversaw the intake of the famous captured submarine U-889 in Halifax. At that time, Peers was serving HMCS Stadacona as Officer-in-Charge of HMC Naval Research Establishment and would have been granted full access to the German sub. All items depicted here are being sold together as one grouping.
