Lt. George Raymond Dallas Moor VC, MC and Bar.
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Hampshire Regiment
(d.3rd Nov 1918)
An extract from The London Gazette No. 29240, dated 23rd July 1915, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and resource on 5th June 1915, during operations south of Krithia, Dardanelles. When a detachment of a battalion on his left, which had lost all its officers, was rapidly retiring before a heavy Turkish attack, Second Lieutenant Moor, immediately grasping the danger to the remainder of the line, dashed back some 200 yards, stemmed the retirement, led back the men, and recaptured the lost trench. This young officer, who only joined the Army in October 1914, by his personal bravery and presence of mind, saved a dangerous situation."
Lieutenant George Moor was born in Australia on October 22nd 1896, the son of William Henry and Eva Helen Moor (née Pender). He was aged 22 when he died of Spanish Influenza, and he is buried in the Y Farm Military Cemetery in France.
