I always love the calligraphy on C18/19 gravestones, too often ignored and unloved because outside the church. This guy was a military musician. Full marks to Bexley P.C.C. for looking after their gravestones to the extent of mending broken ones in an exemplary manner.

The only brass I know with this horn insignia, possibly that of a royal forester? forests had their own laws, and administering justice could be of great pecuniary advantage to those in charge, to say nothing of the rights of disposal of game and timber. the brass looks c15.
