Previous | Home | Next2nd Lieutenant Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley was killed by a sniper's bullet at the Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey in 10 August 1915. Only twenty-seven years old at death, Moseley would have made an enormous contribution to the knowledge of atomic structure had he lived. Isaac Asimov once wrote that Moseley's death was probably the most costly fatality of the war, in view of what he was bound to accomplish had he lived on. Because of Moseley's death in the War, the British and other world governments began a policy of no longer allowing their scientists to enlist for combat.
