the occasion of an attack on the enemy on the 8th February 1857, led by Lieutenant Colonel Forbes, CB., Lieutenant
Moore, the Adjutant of the regiment, was, perhaps, the first of all by a horse's length. His horse leaped into the
square, and instantly fell dead, crushing down his rider, and breaking his sword as he fell amid the broken ranks
of the enemy. Lieutenant Moore speedily extricated himself, and attempted with his broken sword to force his way
through the press ; but he would assuredly have lost his life had not the gallant young Lieutenant Malcolmson,
observing his peril, fought his way to his dismounted comrade through a crowd of enemies to Ms rescue, and, giving
him his stirrup, safely carried him through everything out of the throng. The thoughtfulness for others, cool
determination, devoted courage and ready activity shown in extreme danger by this young Officer, Lieutenant
