1901 Horsebridge Hill, Northwood Village, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. Richard COBB is shown as being 40 (born 1861) in Coombe Keynes (Kopas on ancestry.com index), Dorset. The people above him are all very definitely "S"; the symbol for Richard is different but could be an "S" in a different hand. However, given the fact that Richard was not at home with his wife, was 40 and born in Coombe Keynes, Dorset I think this is the right man.
Boarding with George MANDELL (53) married Mason, and daughters Elizabeth (22), Florence (20) and Rosina (16) all three Domestic, and all the family born Newport, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. Not living with wife and son Arthur

Campaign Medals:
Victory Medal
Given the information we have available it is likely that A L COBB was entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible.
British War Medal
From the information available to us, it is very possible that A L COBB was entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918.
The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period.
