Biography
Although he represented Great Britain at pistol shooting in both the 1908 and 1912 Olympics, Peter Jones was also a fine rifle shot. Shortly before the Stockholm Games, he won both the rifle and pistol events in the Royal Navy’s Inter-Ship Shooting Match at Devonport, triumphs that led to him representing the Royal Navy at Bisley that year.
A petty officer, and later warrant officer, Jones was a gunner first class. He joined the Navy as an 18-year-old in 1897 and in 1915 was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander.
