Inscribed (source/transcript: https://glosters.tripod.com/crimdeaths1.htm): "This monument is erected to the memory of Henry Whichcote Turner, Esq. Captain of the 1st or The Royal Regiment of Foot, tenth son of the late Lieut. General Charles Turner, Colonel of the 19th Regiment of Foot and Harriet his wife, daughter of the Very Rev. George Stevenson LCD, Dean of Kilfenora, Ireland. Born September 24th 1829, died March 1st 1856 at Kamara in the Crimea, and buried there in the graveyard of the Highland Division. He was present at the Battles of the Alma and Inkerman and at the siege of Sevastopol supported by a sense of duty, though suffering from a mortal disease, the effects of his exertion in the trenches, he bore the severities of the climate and the hardships and privations of war with the fortitude of a Christian soldier. Lieut. General Charles Turner (1779-1854), of the 19th Regiment of Foot, died in 1854, aged 75, at Sutton Lodge, Chiswick, Middlesex. (London Gazette[1]) (See his obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine, Vol.42, July-December 1854, London, 1854, pp.626-7[2]). HeraldryArms: Argent, a cross azure between four quatrefoils gules in the centre a fer-de-moline of the first (Turner) (Edmund Farrer, The Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol.1, 1887, p.27[3]) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884 "Argent, a cross azure pierced of the field between four quatrefoils gules in the centre a fer-de-moline sable"). A fer-de-moline being a canting element appearing frequently in the arms of families named Turner, as the fer-de-moline is a device used to "turn" a mill-stone. Impaling: Azure, on a bend argent between two lions passant or three leopard's faces gules (Stevenson, for his mother) (would have been his wife if married) (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.970 "Stevenson of Stanton, Rowsley and Elton-on-the-Peak, Derbyshire"). |
