Inscription : from Epilogue by Robert Browning 


JOHN  BRIERLEY HOWARD
MAJOR 4TH BATTALION DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S
WEST RIDING REGIMENT.
     
AGED 43 YEARS.
     
ONE WHO NEVER TURNED HIS BACK
BUT MARCHED BREAST FORWARD,
NEVER DOUBTED CLOUDS WOULD BREAK,
NEVER DREAMED, THOUGH RIGHT WERE WORSTED,
WRONG WOULD TRIUMPH,
HELD WE FALL TO RISE, ARE BAFFLED TO FIGHT BETTER,
SLEEP TO WAKE.
