His commanding officer wrote: "On 10 June we captured a trench; early the following morning the Turks counter-attacked, and in the confusion it seemed as if they would probably drive our men back. Your son, who was at the time acting as Adjutant, volunteered to lead an assaulting party back. Those with him say how magnificently he behaved, and at the head of his men he re-took the lost portion of the trench in a few minutes. He was the best type of officer and had proved himself several times in action"; and a brother officer: "For a short, but critical, period in the Gallipoli operations he commanded the battn., and his quiet and firm command earned the respect and confidence of all ranks...." Another wrote: "On this occasion he again displayed that personal courage and coolness in danger which had been an example to his men from the commencement of the campaign." Capt. Moore was mentioned in Sir Ian Hamilton's Despatch of 12 June, 1915. [Illustration: =Reginald H. H. Moore.=] =MOORE, THOMAS=, Leading Stoker (R.F.R., B. 3729), 302799, H.M.S.
