Mon Inscripts notes for Capt. Charles Powys RN
From the Northants FHS booklet of Mon Inscriptions for St John the Baptist, Thorpe Achurch, pub 2015:
On a marble memorial for him and his brother Henry:
“This tablet is inscribed to the memory of the Honble CHARLES and the Honble HENRY POWYS, the fifth and sixth sons of the First Lord Lilford. The former having attained the rank and command of Captain in the navy. and given promise of great and good qualities fell victim to the pestilential fever of the West Indies in the 24th year of his age A.D. 1804. The latter, commanding a company in the 83d Regiment of Foot, received a mortal wound before the fortress of Badajoz in Spain, being selected for the distinguished service of leading a storming party against the outworks of that place. He was the first to enter it by the ladders. He was the first who fell. Thus honourably he gave his life to his country in the 26th year of his age, A.D. 1812. Respected in the exercise of duty, beloved and lamented at home, these brothers are gone to their reward. “To us also a warfare is appointed.””
