Memoir of Admiral Sir Graham Moore, G. C. B. G. C. M. G (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir of Admiral Sir Graham Moore, G. C. B. G. C. M. G The writer of the following memoir, would have desired to have written the life of Sir Graham Moore, but circumstances prevent an undertaking of such length. With the authentic documents, however, which he possesses, he feels it to be a duty, both to the officers of the Navy and Army, to give some form of publicity, to a character so generally popular in both services. To those officers who knew him, the difficulty of doing any justice to the subject, will be well understood. To those who knew him only by reputation, the writer offers no apology for an attempt which he is aware is imperfect, for he knows it will be received by them, with feelings similar to his own; a desire to derive and impart benefit, from distinguished example, and of marking respect to the memory of an officer, whose professional career, and private life, equally contributed to uphold the name, and raise the character of her Majesty's service.
