Sir Edward Moore 1851-1923

Moore was Alderman for the Ward of Bishopsgate in the City of London, and served as one of the Sheriffs of the City of London, playing his part in the great recruitment campaign on the outbreak of war in 1914. Sadly, his eldest son, Edward Cecil Horatio Moore, who was a part of the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force, would later be killed at Vimy Ridge in 1917.

Sir Edward Moore became the first chartered accountant to be Lord Mayor of London in November 1922 and led fundraising campaigns for the preservation and restoration of Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, and to relieve the sufferers of the Great Kantō Earthquake in Japan. He would also serve as Master of the Fruiterers and Painter-Stainers livery companies. In recognition of his public services, he received a baronetcy.

In June 1923 Sir Edward Moore took up the ICAEW Presidency but would not live to see out his presidential year. Tragically, Moore was knocked down by a motor omnibus while walking to Mansion House during his time as Lord Mayor and never entirely recovered from this, later succumbing to an illness that hospitalised him for many months. Sir Edward Moore died on 7th December 1923.
