A short week after Inverell’s RSL sub-branch called for the public to share any photos of the mysterious soldier, Rod Carpenter came to the rescue.

The sub-branch received a photo, and further information about Private Moore from Bill Durrant and Heather Clarke.

October 1 marks a centenary since Private Moore’s death and the RSL sub-branch, in conjunction with the Kurrajong re-enactment committee, are set to host a special ceremony.

The new addition of Private Moore’s photo will ensure the ceremony will be a perfect commemoration.

Friends, family and local community members are invited to the Cenotaph on October 1 at 11am to pay their respect to Private Moore who was killed while performing battalion runner duties for Lieutenant Colonel Morshead.

He now rests with his fallen comrades in the Unicorn Cemetery in Bony, France. 

Private Moore enlisted at the same time as his brother Norman Joseph Moore, who was wounded in France and returned home to Inverell, where he passed away in 1949.

They were involved in the 1916 march at Warialda and spent some time at Narrabri before being transported to France.

As a member of the 33rd Battalion, Clarence sailed from Australia in September 1916, arriving in England at the end of October. 

With his unit, he was sent to France in February 1917. During October that year, he was admitted to hospital with a septic foot; however, he rejoined the battalion after three weeks treatment. 

The following April he was gassed and out of action for two months. 

Private Moore was killed in action when hit by a shell, near Bony in France.  

Clarence had been Lieutenant Colonel Morshead’s runner and was regarded as “conscientious and energetic”. 

His personal effects, which included a damaged presentation watch, penknife, photos and wallet, were returned to his father.

At Inverell, Clarence has his name inscribed on the town’s honour roll, cenotaph and on the Methodist Church Honour Roll.
