In memory of Sir Thomas Boulden Thompson Bart: Knight Grand Crossof the most honourable Order of the Bath who obtained the distinguished favour of the his most gracious Sovereign while serving under the flag of the illustrious Nelson by his gallant conduct in command of His Majesty's ship Leander at the Battle of the Nile 1st August 1798 and again in HM Ship Bellona off Copenhagen 2nd April 1801. When he lost his leg by a cannon shot he subsequently filled the station of Comptroller of the Navy and represented the City of Rochester in Parliament from 1806 to 1816 when he was appointed Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital and held that office until his decease on the 3rd March 1828 aged 62.Reader While you admire and perhaps covet these patriot honours which excited no vain glory in the bosom of this brave officer remember the far nobler reward of every faithful soldier of Christ, Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life.

Sir Thomas Boulden Thompson MP KGB, [Admiral Lord] Nelson
