Sacred to the memory of/ Major General Barnard Foord Bowes/ a beloved & lamented husband, whose virtues are recorded/ in the hearts of his sorrowing relatives and friends./ his deeds of valour in arms, are perpetuated on/ a monument erected in the cathedral church of St. Pauls,/ by his most grateful country as a tribute of respect/ due to his meritorious actions placing him among the/ foremost in the list of those gallant heroes who have/ bled in the defence of their king and constitution/ he fell on the 23rd of June 1812 in the 43rd year of his age,/ after almost a life devoted to the service/ and while leading the forlorn hope to the assault/ of the fortress La Mercia Salamanca/ No sleep the brave, now sunk to rest/ by all their country's wishes blest.
