Medals
The collection of medals and memorial attributed to Lieut. Charles Pearman Steer. Pictured are the British War and Victory Medals, Canadian Memorial Cross and Memorial Plaque. Sadly there are two service medals lost from the group: Queens South Africa Medal (for service in the Boer War 1899-1902) and the 1914-15 Star. Remarkably the donor of this collection united all of the above seen pieces over a span of fifteen years. Lieut. Steer was killed by shell fire while supervising wiring parties on Vimy Ridge. -
