1914 Star (5216 Pte. P. F. Dyson, 10/ Hrs.) good very fine £70-£90

Percy F. Dyson, a native of Leeds, was born on 28 August 1887 and served with the 10th Hussars during the Great War on the Western Front from 6 October 1914. Posted to the 15th Hussars, he was captured and taken Prisoner of War in June 1918, whilst serving in ‘A’ Company, 15th Hussars, finally being repatriated in January 1919. He was transferred to Section ‘B’ Army Reserve in May 1919. Curiously his Medal Index Card indicates that he was deleted from the 1914 Star roll, and that the Star was scrapped.
