Walter Charles "Charlie" Moore (24 September 1875 – 12 May 1901) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL), and who also served as a trooper in the Anglo-Boer War. He was the first Fijian-born player in the VFL/AFL. Walter Moore was the first VFL player to die in active service in any war.〔Main, J. & Allen, D., "Moore, Charles", pp.3–6 in Main & Allen (2002)〕 ==Private life== The third son (the sixth child of twelve) of George Moore (1843–1925) and Elizabeth Jane née Cazaly (1845–1924),〔Both his parents were born in England. (Genealogical Chart: Cazaly (Fourth Generation) )〕 Walter Charles Moore was born in Fiji on 24 September 1875.〔Although both Main & Allen (2002), p.3 and (Australians in the Boer War, Oz-Boer Database Project, Full Record: Charles Moore (301) )) state that he was born in Albert Park, the evidence of (Genealogical Chart: Cazaly (Fifth Generation) ), obviously constructed from detailed birth records, which states that he was born in Fiji is far more persuasive.〕 His mother was the aunt of Roy Cazaly;〔Main & Allen (2002), p.5; see (Cazaly Family Tree )〕 making Moore Cazaly's cousin. His eldest sister, Edith (1868–1907), was married to Sir Francis Pratt Winter (1848–1919). Moore married Rose Alice Walters (1872–1924) on 9 May 1898 at Fitzroy, Victoria;〔See (Cazaly Family Tree ); (Genealogical Chart: Cazaly (Fifth Generation) )〕 they had one child, George Clarence Leonard Moore (1898–1967), born in Collingwood on 8 November 1898.〔(Genealogical Chart: Cazaly (Sixth Generation) )〕 His father the Hon. George Moore, originally a soldier, worked as a government official in Fiji from 1872. In 1876 he was appointed as the first Government Surveyor; in 1880 was promoted to Staff Surveyor; and in 1899 he became the Commissioner of Lands, Works, and Water Supply, and the Crown Surveyor.〔George Moore is listed as "Commissioner of Lands, Fiji" in the ''Who's Who'' of 1902 (p.919), as "Commissioner of Lands, Works, and Water Supply, and Crown Surveyor, Fiji" in the ''Who's Who''of 1903, and as "Late Commissioner of Lands, Works, and Water Supply, and Crown Surveyor, Fiji" in the ''Who's Who''of 1915 (p.527) and 1916 (p.1577).〕 He was awarded the Imperial Service Order for his service in 1903.〔The ''Who's Who'' entries also state that he was awarded an Imperial Service Order in 1903; the award of which implies long service (see Imperial Service Order).〕 At the time of Moore's death in South Africa, his father resided in Fiji,〔Both the ''Who's Who''of 1915 (p.527) and 1916 (p.1577) list his address as "Suva".〕 and his mother and sister lived at 46 St Vincent Place, Albert Park — the street surrounding the park in which a memorial to Charlie Moore would later be erected.〔Main & Allen (2002), p.6.〕 He attended Albert Park State School.〔 As did * Will Dyson (1880–1938); * Herbert Norman Warren (1888–1950) (Federation and Meteorology: Warren, Herbert Norman (references) ) (Bright Sparcs Biography: Warren, Herbert Norman (1888–1950) ) * Frank Beaurepaire (1891–1956) (Albert Park State School Swimming Club.
