Although service in the Battle of Ypres earnt the 1914 Star instead, and the hideous casualties on the Somme reduced the number of possible claimants considerably, the Star was also awarded for service in overseas theatres. It was always awarded alongside the British War Medal and Allied Victory Medal. This medal, which the Lester Watson catalogue incorrectly entitles a Mons Star (this nickname applying only to the 1914 award) was awarded to Sergeant Edward J. Mott, of the Border Regiment, whose acts of valour on the Western Front eventually earned him the Victoria Cross. It forms part of what Lester Watson's catalogue lists as Group 2, and its provenance is discussed in the page for that group. 76 reference exhibition-1967 adlib-exhibition-1967 6984c1c2-8fb8-37f2-bc1e-13468b4a0475 Imagery of War CM.1481-2009 1 accession number CM.1481-2009 141577 priref 141577 Watson Catalogue 252A ordering M-0366 previous object number LW.0360c uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141577 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141577 Crossed swords with inscriptions on scrolls, under wreath with royal monogram at bottom and over four-pointed star of which topmost point replaced by crown. obverse AUG / 1914 / NOV design Plain star with recipient's name stamped reverse 9887 / SJT.
