Description:Lt. Colonel Johnson served in the North Staffordshire Regiment for over seventeen years, and had seen action in South Africa before serving in World War One. In September 1914 he was selected to train the 2nd/5th Battalion at Butterton Hall and in April 1916 he was sent to Ireland with his battalion during the ‘Easter Rebellion.’ He was posted to France in February 1917 where he was promoted to Lt. Colonel. Later that year he was wounded by a bullet and was captured by the Germans. He was later awarded the Distinguished Service Order and was mentioned in dispatches. The phrase written on the belt is French meaning ‘God and my right.’ The phrase was first spoken by Richard I as a battle cry and was adapted as the royal motto of England by Henry V.
