The inscription is today only partly readable, but was recorded
as follows in the book "A Collection of Epitaphs and Monumental
Inscriptions on the Most Illustrious Persons of All Ages and Countries"
by Sylvester Tissington, London 1857, p.61, which quotes its source
as The Illustrated London News, 1855.

a medal and two clasps. Following up this career of glory in
the Crimea, he fought gallantly at the Alma; and was killed
while heading a charge at Inkermann, Nov. 5th, 1854 carrying
with him the deep regrets of the brave 49th, and of all who
knew him.
