Lot Essay

M.C. London Gazette 23.6.1915.

Captain J. Paterson, M.C., originally entered the French Theatre of War with the 14th County of London Battalion, the London Scottish, in late 1914, and was present in the Messines operations.

Given the missing 1914 Star, and the fact that there are a number of Captain J. Paterson's on the 1914-18 MIC Roll in the P.R.O., it is possible that this is a 're-constituted' Group.
