"Insignia & Medals of the Grand Priory of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem by Charles W. Tozer is the first dedicated study of the decorations and medals associated with the Order of St John. Drawing on Tozer's deep personal connection to the Order, the book offers a detailed visual and historical account of its insignia, from the Sovereign Head down to Serving Brothers and Sisters. It includes color and black-and-white illustrations, portraits, and concise historical notes that trace the Order's medieval origins and its evolution into a modern humanitarian organization.
The book is divided into three parts: the first covers the internal honors of the Order itself, the second details medals awarded by the British Crown exclusively to St John personnel, and the third explores awards given by railway companies and British Railways for first aid and long service. Tozer's work is both scholarly and accessible, making it a valuable reference for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the ceremonial and charitable legacy of one of the world's oldest chivalric orders."
