Location

At the English Heritage store, Fort Brockhurst, Gosport [EH Ref No. 83100108]. This memorial was originally sited at the west end of the south wall to the nave. The exact position is unknown, but the 1873 Guide to the Church lists this memorial in the same section as that for Captain William Madden which still exists in situ.
 

Description

The memorial is now in six pieces but most of the text remains and is legible.
