Col Sir John Forbes CB 3rd Bombay Calvary

On the occasion of an attack on the enemy on 8 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 immediately 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 his 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 Malcolmson, appear to have been most admirable, and to be worthy of the highest honour.
