| Extremely rare civilian award of NGSM with The Most Honourable Order of the Bath Companion's breast badge (Civil), 18ct gold, hallmarked London 1860, 1793-1840 NGSM Syria clasp, 1840 St Jean D'Acre Medal in gold, Turkey Order of Glory (Nichan Iftikhar) neck badge and Order of the Medjidieh 3rd Class silver, gold and enamel 60mm neck badge to Consul General in Syria Niven Moore (N. Moore on NGSM), ring suspension on St Jean has been replaced with a gold straight bar suspender otherwise nearly extremely fine and better. With copied NGSM roll, ship listed as H.B.M. Consul (Her Britannic Majesty's Consul) making it an extremely rare civilian issue. With photograph of a 3/4 length portrait oil painting in uniform with medals and original small full portrait wearing medals. The CB was announced in the London Gazette dated 2nd November 1860. With 19 typed pages of family research. Niven Moore was born 5/5/1799, educated at Lancaster Grammar school until 1814. A few years later he went to Constantinople to work for the Levant Company which had long standing trading connections with Lancashire. The Levant Company was wound up and Niven was appointed Cancellier at the Constantinople Embassy 17/11/22. In 1827 he married Mary Wood, the daughter of an interpreter at the Embassy. After the Battle of Navarino in October 1827 the Embassy staff were evacuated to Malta for their safety. Appointed Consul at Beyrout 13/1/35 where life became difficult during the military operations of 1840/41. A letter from Charles Napier, the commander of British naval forces, to Niven reads, "Sir, I beg you will communicate to the Consuls of the different Powers and the British merchants in Beyrout that Great Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia have decided that Syria is to be restored to the Porte. I have demanded that Turkish troops be put under my protection and that the arms be restored to the inhabitants of Lebanon. I trust that the Governor will not provoke hostilities, if he does the responsibility of uselessly shedding blood must be upon his head." A second letter, from Sir David Wilkie records "Mrs Moore and family lived on board Commodore Napier's ship during the bombardment of Beyrout. Many of the houses have been battered to pieces by shell and shot, and bricklayers and carpenters are now busy with reparations and rebuildings." An 1841 letter from Niven to Lord Aberdeen was the start of a long haul for compensation, "My Lord; I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship that on my precipitated embarkation from Beyrout on 7th September last year, to seek asylum on board one of Her Majesty's Ships of War, on account of the political state of affairs in Syria, I necessarily left behind property consisting of household furniture and other effects, which it was impossible to transport with me. On my return to Beyrout on the 7th October 1840 after the bombardment, I found my house a ruin and a part of my household and other property destroyed or pilfered. Collecting together the remaining wreck, I estimate my direct pecuniary loss at £120 but I beg to acquaint your Lordship that independent of this, I was under the necessity of sending my family for safety to Cyprus, where they remained until I could prepare a place for their reception at Beyrout, which on my return I found suffering from the joint calamities of siege and pillage." In 1849 Niven wrote to the Foreign stating the dangers he had faced during the Allied operations against the Egyptian Army in 1840/41. He explained that when hostilities broke out, he accompanied Sir Charles Napier aboard H.M.S. Powerful during some of the fighting, had been present at the surrender of Beyrout, where he immediately resumed his duties on behalf of British interests. He respectfully submitted that this service qualified him for The Turkish Order of Glory and the NGSM for Syria. His application was supported by Colonel Rose, the Consul General and who had commanded the British land forces during 1840-41. The Foreign Office relented and both awards were approved. Niven was appointed Consul at Aleppo in Syria 15/5/41 but this was short lived, as no sooner had he taken up residence in Aleppo, then he was re-appointed as consul in Beyrout 27/11/41. For nearly 2 years he deputised for Rose the Consul General of Beyrout. When Rose left Beyrout, he wrote to Niven, "I think it my duty to record, once more, the very high sense which I entertain for the manner in which you have discharged your duties, and of the essential and constant assistance which you have afforded me in trying and difficult circumstances. Nor ought I have to omit that the Maronite …. And other influential inhabitants have often expressed to me their great confidence in you, and their gratitude for the services which you have rendered the country." In January 1854 he was promoted to Consul General of Beyrout, but with no increase in salary. By 1860 a virtual state of civil war existed in the Lebanon and the various Consul Generals were trying to bring about the restoration of law and order. His work during these troubles resulted in the award of the CB in 1860, for his "long and faithful service and especially your conduct during the late troubles in Syria." After 40 years service in the Middle East, he retired to England on 30th November 1862. He died in South Kensington 15/2/89 and was buried in the family vault in Skerton, Lancaster.

With 22 pages of typed family research and press extracts. Henry Moore was born circa 1829 in Malta, the son of Niven Moore of the British Consular Service. He was appointed Ensign in the Indian Army 15/6/50, joined 6th Bombay N.I. 27/10/51 who he served with to April 1854, then 2 months with Hyderabad Police, 4 months with 1st Belooch Regt, 7 months Sub-Assistant Comm-General Hyderabad, 5 months QM and Interpreter of Marine Bn. By the end of 1855 he was serving with the Aden Police (Aden being annexed to the Bombay Presidency in 1839), promoted Lieut 23/11/56, 1857-60 Commandant of the Aden Police Troop. Joined the Persian Expeditionary Force in 1857. Returned to India during the Mutiny in 1858, he proceeded to the Shoolapoor Border to watch the country between the rivers Bheema and Chrshna, joined the Field Force under Col Malcolm, present at the capture of Beder Shoolapoor, joined Sir John Michel's force in pursuit of rebels through the Put Chummy Hills, joined Brig Parke's force, pursued rebels across Nerbudda, present at action of Chota Oodeypoor. An extract from a letter published in 1859 records "Lt Moore was engaged under Brigadier Parke in the pursuit of Tantia Topee. Brigadier Parke's march in pursuit is considered to be unparalleled in military annals. The last 40 miles of his route lay through thick jungle through which Lt Moore led the vanguard of the Aden Forces. With admirable judgement he drove in the enemy position by surprising his outlying cavalry pickets on 1st December. The battle which ensued was outside the town of Chota Oodepoor. The enemy we are told, outflanked our small force. Tantia endeavoured to turn Park's right but they were met by South Mahratta and Aden Hose charging with utmost success, the enemy's cavalry being driven from the field with at least 60 killed and several wounded and pursued for miles through the jungle." In an 1861 letter to his uncle he wrote "I have been on the Staff the greater part of my service but have had rough work at times – I commanded a small corps of Irregular Horse for 5 years and during that time was never out of a tent in camp, which in India is no joke and my constitution has suffered accordingly." Served on Staff of C.-in-C. India 1860-65 and then to the Staff of Sir Donald Stewart, Bombay Intelligence Dept. Promoted Capt 15/6/62. During the 1867/68 Abyssinian Campaign he was the Persian and Arabic interpreter to General Sir Robert Napier and was present at the capture of Magdela and granted Brevet Major 15/8/68. He served in the 1871-72 Looshai campaign and was mentioned in despatches and promoted Brevet Lt Col 11/9/72. During the campaign he was in command of a Coolie Corps and Lord Roberts' recorded "To add to our troubles, cholera broke out amongst some Nepalese coolies on their way to join us; out of 840,251 died in a few days and a number deserted panic stricken, while the rest were so weakened and shaken that, notwithstanding the care bestowed upon them by their able and energetic commander, Major Henry Moore, only 387 joined the column." For 17 weeks 1875/76 he accompanied the Prince of Wales (later EDVII) as interpreter during his visit to India. Promoted Col 1/10/77, awarded CIE 1/1/78. 1878/79 he served as Assistant Quartermaster General with Quetta Field Force and involved in the occupation of Pishin and advance to and occupation of Kandahar, skirmish at Takt-i-pul, occupation of Ghirish and affair at Saif-u-Deen and he was created a Companion of the Bath (CB) for his services in Afghanistan. In 1882 he was head of the Intelligence Dept with the Indian Contingent in the Egyptian War, was present at the Battle of Tel-El-Kebir and the occupation of Cairo and received the Turkish Order of Osmanieh 3rd Class. In 1883 he was in attendance during the Duke of Connaught's visit to India. The Duke's equerry wrote to Queen Victoria "Colonel Moore, a gentleman of high personal character and great experience of India, and filling at present the position of interpreter on the staff of C-in-C India, has been sent by Sir Donald Stewart to render any services in his power to the Duke; and he has been already of great service in organising the establishment at Meerut, I could not have done it satisfactorily without the assistance of someone knowing the language." He was promoted Maj Gen 2/9/87 and Lieut Gen 1/7/92, retired in 1894, appointed KCB 25/6/97. His residence on retirement was at Birksey Brow in the Lake District. He died on 17th October 1915 and was buried next to his mother in Crook churchyard.
