‘On 8 February 1857 at the Battle of Khooshab, Persia, Lieutenant Moore who was Adjutant of the Regiment, was probably the first in the attack, but his horse, on leaping into the square, fell dead, crushing his rider and breaking his sword. Lieutenant Moore extricated himself, but he would almost certainly have lost his life had not another lieutenant fought his way to his dismounted comrade and carried him to safety. In this battle Lieutenant Moore also charged an infantry square of 500 Persians at the head of his regiment and jumped his horse over the enemy’s bayonets’ (Ref. The Register of the Victoria Cross). Lieuteant J. G. Malcolmson, 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry, who effected the rescue of Lieutenant Moore, was also awarded the Victoria Cross.
