Henry Peerless was a Brighton based timber merchant who liked to travel round the UK between 1891 and 1920 by motor car. An entry in his diary for 15th July 1916 reads as follows:
“Feeling much refreshed, we get going again and pave our way to Shaftesbury. From thence we shape a course for Salisbury. On the way we ran into a huge camp. I think there were at least twelve camps in one long line – thousands of soldiers were about – we drew up, and I asked some soldiers the name of the place - as far as I can understand, they said it was Sutton Mandeville, Fovant Camps.
“On our right hand side, behind the camps, was a range of hills, and we were attracted by a series of regimental crests on the side of these hills, most beautifully executed in, I think, white chalk. They varied considerably in size, and it is difficult to judge at a distance what their dimensions might be, but some were of enormous proportions and must have been quite a big job to execute. They were works of art, and produced a fine effect, and I imagine will be preserved in the future as a memento of the Great War.”
That is the objective of the Fovant Badges Society, Mr Peerless!

Cambrian sandstones over Precambrian granite in Colorado, USA.
The rock record does not completely document Earth's history. In stratigraphic sections, missing time is represented by unconformities - surfaces of erosion and/or non-deposition of sediments. There are four types of unconformities: paraconformities, disconformities, nonconformities, and angular unconformities.
Seen here is the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity at Manitou Springs, Colorado. The rocks in the middle and upper parts of the photo are Cambrian sandstones. The underlying rocks are part of the Pikes Peak Granite. About one-half a billion years is missing at the contact. Erosion surfaces such as this that have sedimentary rocks over igneous rocks are called nonconformities.
This contact is the "Great Unconformity", a megasequence boundary - specifically, the base of the Sauk Megasequence. Regionally recognizable packages of sedimentary rocks bounded by major unconformities are known as megasquences, or Sloss sequences (named after geologist L.L. Sloss, 1913-1996). The bounding unconformities were caused by erosion during regressions. Continental margins have more complete sedimentary successions, whereas craton interiors have more incomplete successions. The names for North America's megasequences are (from oldest to youngest): Sauk, Tippecanoe, Kaskaskia, Absaroka, Zuni, and Tejas.
Stratigraphy: Peerless Formation (Upper Cambrian) over Sawatch Sandstone (Upper Cambrian) over Pikes Peak Batholith (late Mesoproterozoic, 1.08 Ga)
Locality: Ute Trail Outcrop - exposure along the northeastern side of old Ute Trail, adjacent to Fountain Creek, northwestern end of the town of Manitou Springs, west of Colorado Springs, western El Paso County, central Colorado, USA (38° 52’ 07.28” North latitude, 104° 55’ 28.36” West longitude)
Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com

Established in Cleveland in 1900 at 43 Lisbon Street, Peerless Motors began manufacturing automobiles while using De Dion-Bouton engines under license from the French company. Engineer Louis P. Mooers designed the first Peerless models, as well as several proprietary engines. The first Peerless-branded vehicles appeared in 1902, with a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels through a shaft.
From 1905 to 1907, Peerless experienced a rapid expansion and a move to increasingly higher-priced models with a focus on luxury. In 1911, Peerless was one of the first car companies to introduce electric lighting on their vehicles, with electric starters added in 1913 and their first V8 model in 1915. In 1929, the entire Peerless range was redesigned to compete at the top of the market with Stutz and Marmon, but the Great Depression of 1929 drastically reduced sales, in an effort to redress the situation the company assigned young designer Frank Hershey to craft an exclusive V16 model, but it was to little to late. The Peerless plant was mothballed, until the end of Prohibition in 1933 when it opened as a brewery under the Carling Black Label and Red Cap ale brands from the Brewing Corporation of Canada.
NOTE 1 - Not to be confused with the British Peerless built in Slough between 1957-60

A collection of Pierce-Arrow and Peerless motor vehicles. A total of twenty-six cars attended the event.
I don't know the whole story. This car was found in storage some years ago. Purchased at auction by the current owners. It is running but restoration plans were not discussed.
