This is an original 1913 tipped-in halftone print of Glasgow-born British solider Sir John Moore. Born in 1761, his list of military skirmishes was extensive. In addition to fighting in the American War of Independence, he also campaigned in Corsica, the West Indes, and he is credited with preventing the sacking of Wexford, Ireland, by gaining control of it during the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
