Frederick John Shore

His daughter Louisa Sara Floyer (1830–1909) was involved in introducing knitting and needlework into girls' education at the elementary school level in Lincolnshire.

He noted the economic condition of the people: "But the halcyon days of India are over; she has been drained of a large proportion of the wealth she once possessed, and her energies have been cramped by a sordid system of misrule to which the interests of millions have been sacrificed for the benefit of the few."

.... "The gradual impoverishment of the people and country, under the mode of rule established by the British Government, has hastened their (old merchant princes') fall."

In order to supply drinking water, he had set up a well near the magistrate's office dug 228 feet deep at the cost of Rs 11,000 (it continues to be called Shore's well).

[9] In October 1824 Rivers Francis Grindall (1786-1832), the magistrate of Saharanpur sent a letter requesting armed support as a gurjar leader named Kallua (who also called himself Raja Kalyan Singh) and his assistant Kowar Singh had taken over a mud fort called Koonja Ghurry (now Kunja Bahadurpur village in Roorkee district - 29°53′19″N 77°46′26″E / 29.8886°N 77.7740°E / 29.8886; 77.7740) and had sworn by Kali to put an end to the rule by foreigners after assembling 800 men.

Frederick Young brought 350[10] of his Sirmoor Battalion made up of gurkha soldiers along with Shore, lieutenant Henry De Bude, and Dr J. F. Royle.

During the raid Shore was involved in a sword fight and received two deep cuts on his chest before his assailant was put down by Young with a pistol shot.

[18] Shore suffered poor health following the injuries from his fight at Koonja but lived for thirteen more years until his sudden death at Spence's Hotel in Calcutta.
