I have previously highlighted Sir Peter's (as this is mainly a Commonwealth forum, we should recognise his proper title
) long held interest and respect for the subject and his work in the area of recognition and education for WW1 history and veteran's matters.

While his knighthood was for "services to the Arts", his work in WW1 History also attracted appreciative attention from those who make these sorts of recommendations for honours.
Where his commercial feature films attract worldwide commercial and critical success, he has also produced many short films and held workshops for more eclectic groups of Veterans, collectors and researchers. A truly worthy man of "Sir".
