Personal life

Prior to the First World War, Moodie worked as an invoice clerk for his father, who was managing director of canvas merchants Andrew Mitchell and Co Ltd in Glasgow.[2] On 5 September 1914, he enlisted as a private in the Highland Light Infantry and was posted to the Western Front in January 1915. He was commissioned as an officer in 1916. In April 1918, he was awarded the DSO for "conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty" when he was thrice wounded while holding the line and then making a withdrawal during an intelligence-gathering operation near Passchendaele, Belgium. He was evacuated back to Britain and demobbed in March 1919. After the war, Moodie returned to work for Andrew Mitchell and Co Ltd.
