Peter Moore (as he was known) was born in Dunedin in 1922 and went to John McGlashen College and Otago University. He enlisted in the RNZAF in 1941 and trained at Taieri, Wigram and in Canada. On arrival in the UK in December 1942 he continued training before being posted to 88 Squadron RAF operating Douglas Boston III aircraft over Europe. After only four operations he was killed on 18 March 1944 when his Boston crashed on a night navigation training flight. He is buried at Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey.
