Lieutenant-General. Commander during the early stages of the Peninsular War (1808), he was cut off from Portugal by the French and obliged to make a forced march to the coast at Corunna to embark his troops; there he was killed in repulsing the French. Moore arrived in Dublin in December 1797 and was first engaged in disarming the radical United Irishmen in Cork before the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. Moore was horrified at the brutality of some of his fellow officers during the disarmament process. He also spoke out against the Protestant gentry, claiming that though his men had confiscated hundreds of thousands of pikes, they would soon appear again if the gentry did not change their ways. The following year he assisted General Lake in the suppression of the Rebellion in Wexford.
