Horace Moore-Jones
At the outbreak of war in 1914, Horace Moore-Jones was living in Britain. He was 42 years old, but gave his age as 32 so he could enlist with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF). Moore-Jones was sent to Gallipoli to draw the area because there were no effective maps. Towards the end of 1915 his drawing hand was injured, but while recovering in England he somehow managed to produce almost 80 watercolours of Gallipoli. His most recognised painting is 'Private Simpson, D.C.M., & his donkey at Anzac'.
