Online features, interviews and reports related to the life and achievements of Fritz Peters VC

The article below in Legion Magazine was done in 2006 before information from the Peters Family Papers became available. The story of Fritz is included along with the stories of Canada`s other naval VC`s, Robert Hampton Gray and Rowland Bourke. Further details on all three are in the Local Heroes section of the CFB Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum web site. Ironically, each of the heroes has a special connection with the small mountain community of Nelson, British Columbia, 400 miles inland from the West Coast. Gray and Bourke lived in Nelson, and Peters` U.S. DSC medal was officially presented to his mother as next-of-kin in a ceremony at her home in Nelson.
