Bronze Life Fellow's Token from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, [c.1914]
Bronze Life Fellows' Token from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. The obverse shows an embossed gannet with wings raised and the inscription 'The Zoological Society of Scotland' around the border. On the reverse is the inscription 'Life Fellows / Token / No. 77.' The token is fitted with a blue ribbon for wearing.
There is no date on the medal, but as Ewart was applying to become a Life Fellow in July 1914, it is assumed that the medal dates from around this year.
