Horace Millichamp Moore-Jones (1867–3 April 1922) was a notable New Zealand artist, soldier and art teacher. He was born in Malvern Wells, Worcestershire, England in about 1867. He was known for his war art work at Gallipoli. He died as a result of extensive burns while rescuing people from a burning hotel in Hamilton, New Zealand.[1] In December 2012, it was announced that the city would shortly rename a central city street from Marlborough Place to Sapper Moore-Jones Place in his honour.
