This Tablet/is erected to the/dearly beloved Memory/of/Duncombe Fredk. Batt/Buckley/Lieut & Capt. Scots Fusilier Guards/third son of/Major General & Lady Catharine/Buckley/Devoted to the service of his Country/he left England with the Army/under the Command of Lord Raglan, Feby. 1854/and returned home no more. Severely wounded in the Battle of the Alma,/he hastened as soon as strength permitted,/to rejoin his Regiment,/and bore with exemplary cheerfulness his share/of the hardships and sufferings endured by the Army/during the trying winter of 1854-1855./He fell before Sebastopol/in the zealous performance of his duty/while posting sentries in advance of the trenches/on the 6th of September 1855,/in the 25th year of his age./His mortal remains rest in the Crimea/in the Cemetery on Cathcart's Hill/I became dumb and opened not my mouth:/for it was Thy doing. Ps XXXIX.10.

DUNCOMBE FREDERICK BATT BUCKLEY, Lieutenant and Captain Scots Fusilier Guards,
