Peter Doig began his service with the Volunteer movement whilst he was serving as a law apprentice with Messrs Stewart and Bennett in Dunoon. He was Captain of the local company No. 4 Clyde R.G.A. In shooting he was considered one of the smartest and most accurate, and was admitted to be the best in Scotland. Due to the re-arrangement of military organisation the company was disbanded shortly before the War, but on mobilisation Captain Doig was called to the colours and given command of the artillery in Portkil. He was subsequently given command of at Stevenson and in 1916 was sent to France. For meritorious work he was promoted to Major in the field.

Sold with four contemporary news cutting and copied Medal Index Card which records unsuccessful application for T.F.W.M.
