Of Mould’s career as a patent barrister, a tribute published in The Times on 11 April 1958 stated: With this happy and gregarious disposition he combined a conscientious devotion to his specialized field of activity…and an unswerving acceptance of the high Victorian standards of work and duty in which he had been educated.
