J H Moore, Whangamata, 2004, 136 pages, A5 size. Good secondhand copy.

Jack Moore was from the same mould as most of the boys from "Down Under", whether from Australia or New Zealand it didn't matter. The common bond they forged on the slopes of Gallipoli and on other battlefields has lived on for eighty odd years as a result of the mutual respect they generated. They were an unknown quantity in 1915, fit only for garrison duties according to the Germans, who were soon forced to change this opinion and acknowledge the fighting prowess of the Anzacs.

Jack Moore was a true son of Paeroa and the Ohinemuri while at the same time proud of his association with Australia. He followed the example of the "Gallant Six" from Paeroa during the Boer War and left his own mark in history some fourteen years later.
