Peek, Brian A. (Brian Alison), 1892-1956
Brian Peck made the first airmail delivery from Montreal to Toronto in June 1918 while he was in instructor at an RAF training base. After enlisting in the Canadian Field Artillery with the 5th Battery, 2nd Brigade, he had been awarded both the British War Medal and the Victory Medal in 1915 and that same year was commissioned as a captain in the RAF. In 1919 following the war, he married Muriel Alys Gill in Llanlarnlach, Wales.
