THE COLLECTION OF MAJOR R. R. PELHAM BURN M.C. T.D.

Ronald Russell Pelham Burn was born in Edinburgh on the 11th of October 1910. As a Captain during the Second World War, he was captured by the Germans at St Valéry­en­Caux in 1940 while in command of D Company, 4th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. He escaped immediately, and although he was soon recaptured his defiant spirit endured as he was moved between various camps. He was imprisoned at Oflag VII B from September 1942, where he maintained clandestine communications with the War Office. It would appear that his interest in medal collecting had its genesis while he was in captivity, as he obtained books on the subject –as well as on heraldry – via the Red Cross. He then formed his collection in the later 1940s and 1950s. His Military Cross was gazetted in October 1945.
