There is no medal card for Mullen, so he may well have
only served in England.
His link with the 25th is the following from the Liddle
Collection at Leeds University. As the 25th is wrongly identified as the
Artists Rifles which was the 28th London Bn., he may in fact be formerly
with the 28th and not the 25th.
