Moses was one of four brothers who all served during the war; the others were Sergeant Samuel Cummins 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers, Sergeant James Cummins 3rd Royal Irish Rifles and Private Thomas Cummins 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers. Thomas was also lost during the war. All four brothers are mentioned in a verse of the poem 'The Hill Street Boys' first published in the Lurgan Mail 3rd April 1915, under the title 'The Hill Street Tommie's.'

There's James and Sam, Moe and Tam,
For fine chaps there's no disputing,
For heart and hand for Hill Street Band,
These brothers spent much time in fluting,
There's Harry Quail as hard as nails,
Who for Glenavon oft did battle,
And Sparks so bright who took delight,
In causing forwards teeth to rattle.

Soldiers Wills: Moses Cummins:
In the event of my death I give the whole of my money to my mother Mrs Cummins. In the event of her death I give the whole of my money to my sister Hanna Cummins, 30 Hill St. Lurgan. 15th Feb, Lcp M. Cummins.
