| Reverse description | Prominent bust-length portrait of Second Lieutenant Walter Tull facing three-quarters left, wearing his British Army officer's peaked cap bearing a cap badge, engraved by David Cornell whose initials DC appear in the lower field. To the lower left, a scene in lower relief depicts a group of soldiers advancing across No Man's Land, rendered against a desolate wartime landscape. The border is decorated with poppy flowers and barbed wire motifs, evoking the imagery of the First World War. The legend 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918 curves around the upper periphery, while WALTER TULL appears as a straight inscription across the lower exergue. |
