Private Bernard Moore 11319
6th South Lancashire Regiment
Lived at the centre house of
those known as ‘The Barracks’, Liverpool Road Bickerstaffe.
Brother to John and Katie, he was educated at St Richards School,
Skelmersdale.
'Bert’ as he was more commonly
known, was involved in the ill-fated action at the Dardanelles and was reported
as missing on the 10th September 1915. His mother, who by this time had moved to 213, Hough Lane
Wombwell, Near Barnsley, Yorkshire, appealed in the Ormskirk Advertiser of the 6th
January 1916 for any information concerning him.
A letter from his commanding
officer stated that he was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
Commemoration can be found on
Panels 139 and 140 of the Cape Helles Memorial Gallipoli. This is just across
the Dardanelles from Troy in Turkey.
