Beschreibung
The 1914 Star awarded to Private J. H. Mullins, 4th Battalion, Duke of Cambridge’s Own (Middlesex Regiment), later Machine Gun Corps, whose medal entitlement was revoked following his conviction for cowardice in the face of enemy in 1916; originally sentenced to death, his sentence was commuted to five years’ penal servitude
1914 Star (S-6361 Pte. J. H. Mullins. Midd’x R.) good very fine £240-£280
---
John Henry Mullins attested for the Middlesex Regiment in 1900 and served with the 4th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 11 November 1914. He later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps.
On 23 May 1916 Private Mullins was convicted of cowardice in the face of the enemy and sentenced to death; the sentence was later commuted to 5 years’ penal servitude. This is stated on the 1914 Star Medal Roll (with the words ‘no medal’) and on his Medal Index Card (later scored out). However, per Army Council Order No. 75 of 1921, such forfeitures were rescinded. The 1914 Star Medal Roll therefore contains a resubmitted entry, however, under the name James Henry Mullins (all other details correct), dated 1 April 1921, confirming entitlement, one of 21 other members of the battalion who had forfeited their medals on account of similar convictions. His medal index card notes the change of Christian name on 7 April 1921.
Mullins was discharged Class Z on 30 September 1919.
Sold with copied research.
