He was credited with five aerial victories.[1] Mulock joined the Canadian Field Artillery in 1911. He served with them until early 1915. After transferring to the Royal Naval Air Service and undergoing pilot training, he was posted to 1 Wing. Although he first saw combat in July 1915, he did not score his first win until 30 December. He then scored on 24 and 26 January 1916, and twice on 21 May 1916. Four of the victories were of the "out of control" variety; the other was "forced to land". Mulock received a Distinguished Service Order on 22 June 1916. In 1917, he was promoted to command of 3 Squadron; in September, he was awarded the French Croix de Guerre. A Bar to his DSO followed in early 1918, along with a promotion to Wing Commander.[2] After the war, Mulock served with the Royal Canadian Air Force, rising to the rank of Air Commodore by 1935. He then left the military and joined Canadian Airways.[3] In 2010, Mulock was posthumously indcuted into the Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.[4] Sources of information1. ^http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/mulock.php Retrieved 8 February 2010. 2. ^{{cite book |title= Above the Trenches: A Complete Record of the Fighter Aces and Units of the British Empire Air Forces 1915-1920 |page= 287 }} 3. ^{{cite book |title= Above the Trenches: A Complete Record of the Fighter Aces and Units of the British Empire Air Forces 1915-1920 |page= 287 }} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Member Profiles|url=http://www.cahf.ca/CUSTOMPAGES/907/MemberList.cfm?firstLetter=M#155|website=Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame|accessdate=14 January 2018}} ReferencesAbove the Trenches: a Complete Record of the Fighter Aces and Units of the British Empire Air Forces 1915-1920.
