Frederick William John Shore succeeded his brother as 4th Baron Teignmouth in 1915, the title originally created in 1797 for his grandfather Sir John Shore who was Viceroy of India from 1793 to 1798. Whilst serving as a Major with the Royal Horse Artillery, Shore was based at Sialkot [now Pakistan], regarded as the gateway to Kashmir. He remained at Sialkot until January 1894 and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel before returning to England later that year. Shore is recorded as having exhibited views of Gibraltar and Morocco twice at the Royal Academy in 1883 and 1888.
