Description

London Gazette 21 May 1918 (France). French Medaille Militaire London Gazette 7 June 1919. Alfred Thomas Moss, a native of Derby, attested for the Royal Engineers and served initially with the 258th Tunnelling Company during the Great War on the Western Front. Subsequently assigned an War Reserve number (presumably as a result of having been severely wounded in France and returned to England for convalescence), he was posted to the 10th Light Railway Company, R.E., and then to the 6th Railway Survey and Reconnaissance Section, R.E. For his services with this latter unit he was Mentioned in Despatches and awarded an Immediate Meritorious Service Medal, as well as being further honoured by the French authorities. Note: Moss seems to have served his entire military career with the Royal Engineers; it is presumably solely due to a clerical error that his M.S.M. is named to the R.F.A. Sold with copied research.
