Sapper John Perie VC

I'd appreciate any information or photographs relating to John Perie of Aberdeen. I believe there was to be some form of memorial to mark his Victoria Cross honour. It is reported that he died in Aberdeen in 1874 but I cannot find the DC. Many thanks, Tass

Hi Tass

If you Google the following:

"John Perie"+vc

You will find a number of sites which include his date of death, a photograph of John and his headstone.

Best of luck

I think I have a photo of his gravestone. If I remember rightly he is burried in St Peters Cemetery on King Street. I can look it out if you dont have any luck in finding one.
