Award Distinguished Service Medal. Corporal Thomas Herbert MOULD, Auxiliary Air Force, No. 942/3 Squadron (870919)

Corporal Mould has been in charge of a mobile drifter since November, 1939, during which time he has displayed great courage, fortitude and devotion to duty in numerous actions against enemy mine-laying aircraft. On the 3rd June, 1941, he observed a Junkers 88 approaching his vessel at an altitude of about 1,500 feet. He promptly attacked the aircraft with machine-gun fire and it was seen to crash into the sea. On another occasion when a Junkers 88 flew in to attack his vessel, he coolly withheld his fire until he was sure of his aim and destroyed the aircraft. Corporal Mould has badly damaged 3 other enemy aircraft and his vessel has always been to the fore in reporting enemy aircraft and mines.
