Victoria Cross Winners of the 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry by Harry Payne. (PC) During the battle of Kooshab in the Persian War of 1857, Lt. Moore and Lt. Malcolmson were both awarded the Victoria Cross for acts of bravery. Lt. Moore charged his horse at a solid enemy square, jumping the animal into the deadly bayonets. His horse, though killed in the action, created a gap in the square through which the rest of the cavalry poured, breaking the square. Lt. Moore was now surrounded by the enemy with no horse and with a broken sword. Spotting this peril, Lt. Malcolmson rode back to rescue Lt. Moore in the moment depicted here. |
