Early life and military career

Moore-Gwyn was born at Neath and was educated at Winchester College.[1] He debuted in minor counties cricket for Glamorgan in the 1903 Minor Counties Championship against Berkshire.[2] From Winchester he attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst,[1] graduating into the Rifle Brigade as a second lieutenant in August 1906.[3] He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in April 1910.[4] He played his final minor counties match for Glamorgan in 1912, having made a total of twelve appearances in the Minor Counties Championship since 1903.[2] He was made an adjutant in December 1913,[5] with promotion to the rank of captain in June 1914.[6]

He served during the First World War, during which he was awarded the Military Cross in June 1915.[7] He was promoted to the acting rank of major in September 1916,[8] with him relinquishing the rank in November 1916.[9] He was again made an acting major in March 1917,[10] and was mentioned in dispatches in July 1917,[11] the same month in which he relinquished his acting rank of major.[12]

Later military career and life

Moore-Gwyn was made a companion of the Distinguished Service Order in May 1919.[13] He later made his debut in first-class cricket for the British Army cricket team against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1923.[14] He scored 58 runs in the Army's first-innings, before becoming one of Claude Ashton's seven wickets.[15] In July 1924, he was seconded for service with the Colonial Office,[16] with promotion to the rank of major coming in October of that same year.[17] He relinquished his command at the Colonial Office in August 1928.[18]

While serving in British India, he made a second appearance in first-class cricket for a Punjab Governor's XI against the Muslims at Lahore.[14] He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in July 1934.[19] Having completed his period of service in July 1938, he was placed on the half-pay list.[20] However, with the threat of war with Germany, he was restored to the full-pay list in January 1939.[21] He served in the Second World War, during which he was promoted to the rank of colonel in May 1940, with seniority to July 1937.[22]

He retired from active service in October 1942 and was placed on the reserve of officers list.[23] Having exceeded the age for recall, he was removed the list in July 1944.[24] He died at Eastbourne in July 1956, exactly two weeks after his seventieth birthday.
