Frederick William Mousley attested for the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in March 1893 at the age of 18, having previous service in the ranks of the 4th (Militia) battalion of the same regiment. Prior to South Africa, he served on the Nile Expedition of 1898 (Medal & clasp for Omdurman, noted as ‘Invalided’ on the roll for this medal) and was later wounded in action at Britstown (Birmingham Daily Post, 13 March 1900, refers), scene of a small but sharp fight which saw British troops under a Colonel Adye assault a series of hills, but who was forced to withdraw after taking a number of casualties – Mousley amongst them. However, his wound was clearly not too serious as he was not invalided home; instead returning in August 1902 and taking his discharge March 1905.
