MOORE Walter Herbert Ettrich

Sec.-Lieut., Cheshire Regt.
Born, June 20th, 1889. Died from Wounds, in France, November 13th, 1918.
Walter Moore was the third son of the Reverend G. Moore, Rector of Middleton, Manchester. He entered the School in the Lower Sixth from Denstone College in September, 1906, and left from the Upper Sixth in 1908 with an £80 Scholarship at Durham University. He aimed at taking Holy Orders, but was teaching at a preparatory school at Deal when the war broke out, intending later to go to a Theological College. He joined the colours as a private in the King’s Liverpool Regiment, but afterwards secured a commission in the Cheshire Regiment, with which he went to Salonika. His health suffered from the climate and he resigned his commission. On his recovery he joined up again in the 1/8 Lancashire Fusiliers, with whom he served in France. He was twice wounded, the second time mortally. So passed a life which matured much under the strain of war, and which might have done good service for the Church had it been ordered otherwise.
