SGT. JOHN PERREN - MM – Life Story
The following research information gives a brief life story for a John Perren of the 23rd Battalion Middlesex Regiment and the action at Messines Ridge (St. Eloi) where he was to earn his Military Medal. As is so often the unfortunate case … you run into a series of dead ends that do not result in the full life story being told. This is one of those cases. However, what I have found (so far) is highlighted below.
