It seems that the German High Command were up to mischief.

They knew the Kaiser would back down from a European war, so they kept reminding him what wonderful sailing weather it was. He took the bait, and was absent on his yacht in the Baltic when the big decisions were being taken.

Is their a difference between the 1914 star and 1914-15 star?

Yes. They were awarded for different actions and they differ slightly in appearance.Award: The 1914 Star (also known as the Mons Star) was awarded to officers and men of the British armed forces who served in France or Belgium between 5th August and midnight of 22nd/23rd November 1914. The 1914-15 Star was awarded to those who saw action between 5th August 1914 and 31st December 1915 (other than those who qualified for the 1914 Star; no-one could get both) and was not limited to any particular theatre of war.Appearance: The scroll on the obverse (front) of the 1914 Star is S-shaped and reads "AUG 1914 NOV" while that on the 1914-15 goes across the middle and reads "1914 - 15".BTW either one of them was "Pip" in the nickname "Pip, Squeak and Wilfred" when awarded with the British War Medal and Victory Medal.
