His Majesty the KING has been graciously pleased to award the Victoria Cross to:- Second Lieutenant George Raymond Dallas Moor, 3rd Battalion, The Hampshire Regiment. For most conspicuous bravery and resource on 5th June 1915, during operations south of Krithia, Dardanelles. When a detachment of a battalion on his left, which had lost all its officers, was rapidly retiring before a heavy Turkish attack, Second Lieutenant Moor, immediately grasping the danger to the remainder of the line, dashed back some 200 yards, stemmed the retirement, led back the men, and recaptured the lost trench. This young officer, who only joined the Army in October 1914, by his personal bravery and presence of mind, saved a dangerous situation.
