At the outbreak of war Horace Moore-Jones joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF), serving in Gallipoli as a sapper, making drawings of the previously unmapped domain. Whilst recovering from injury he produced a series of fine panoramic views of the Gallipoli Peninsula including the major encampments and locations of engagement.
