Henry G-wyn Jeffreys Moseley. 



r FHE brilliant young physicist who was killed in action on 

 August 10th at the Dardanelles was the only son of my 

 close friend and fellow student the late Professor Henry Nottidge 

 Moseley, F.B.S., of Oxford. He was educated at Eton, where he 

 entered as a scholar, and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he 

 gained a Millard scholarship. He obtained a First Class in Mathe- 

 matical Moderations and Honours in Natural Science. 



Harry Moseley was a most loveable boy and early showed 

 great enthusiasm for science and marked originality. On leaving 

 Oxford in 1910, he was appointed by Professor Entherford of 

 Manchester as lecturer and demonstrator in the Physics depart- 

 ment of the University. After two years he resigned his 

 lectureship and was awarded the John Harling Fellowship, 

 which enabled him to devote his energies entirely to research. 

 In 1913 he returned to Oxford to live with his mother, and con- 

 tinued his experiments in the laboratory of Professor Townsend. 

 He went in the summer of 1914 to the meeting of the British 

 Association in Australia ; but on the outbreak of war made as 

 speedily as possible for England, and resigning all thought of con- 

 tinuing the researches in which he was so successfully engaged, 

 applied for and obtained a Commission in the Koyal Engineers. 

 He was, I am assured, offered work suited to his scientific capa- 

 cities at home, but deliberately chose to share with others of his 

 age the dangers of active service. He was made signalling 

 officer to the 38th Brigade of the First Army, and left for the 

 Dardanelles on June 13th, 1915. There, in the, beginning of 

 August, he was instantaneously killed by a bullet through the 

 bead as he was in the act of telephoning an order to his division. 

 He was only 27 } r ears of age.
