The rims of the British War Medal and Victory Medal are officially impressed with the recipient’s details: 7901 SJT J. W. MOSLEY R. W. FUS. The reverse of the 1914 Star is similarly named to the same individual. Accompanying the medals is a sepia-toned studio portrait photograph of Serjeant Mosley in uniform. The soldier is depicted wearing a peaked cap and service dress tunic, with four inverted good conduct stripes visible on the lower right sleeve, indicating a minimum of thirteen years of exemplary service.
