his Medal card is here:-

If he was at Mons, the card will show that he was entitled to the 1914 star with clasp and roses

BUT  the 19th Northumberland fusiliers were a New Army unit, and as such had not come into being during the retreat at Mons, so it could be he was with another unit then

"19th (Service) Battalion (2nd Tyneside Pioneers)   
Formed at Newcastle, 11 November 1914, by the Lord Mayor and City. 8 February 1915 : became a Pioneer Bn. July 1915 : attached as Divisional Troops to 35th Division."

this is a potted history of the 35th Division from the long long trail

he's got a mention in the london gazette so it looks favourable
