Historical information

Horace Moore-Jones (1868 – 1922) was born in Worcestershire, England, the family emigrating to New Zealand in 1885. Moore-Jones moved to Sydney where he held several successful exhibitions. He returned to Auckland in 1908. At the outbreak of World War 1, he joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF), serving in Gallipoli as a sapper, where he made detailed drawings of the previously unmapped domain. Whilst recovering from injury he produced a series of fine panoramic views of the Gallipoli Peninsula, including the major encampments and locations of engagement. The original watercolours were exhibited in London in April 1916, with Hugh Rees publishing a large format deluxe series of 10 reproductions.
