In Memory of
Thomas Thetcher
a Grenadier in the North Reg. of Hants Militia, who died of
a violent Fever contracted by drinking Small Beer when hot the 12 May 1764. Aged 26 Years.
In grateful remembrance of whose universal good will towards his Comrades, this Stone is placed here at their expence, as a small testimony of their regard and concern.
Here sleeps in peace a Hampshire Grenadier,
Who caught his death by drinking cold small Beer,
Soldiers be wise from his untimely fall
And when ye're hot drink Strong or none at all.
This memorial being decay'd was restor'd by the Officers of the Garrison A.D. 1781.
An Honest Soldier never is forgot
Whether he die by Musket or by Pot.
The Stone was replaced by the North Hants Militia when disembodied at Winchester, on 26 April 1802, in consequence of the original Stone being destroyed.
And again replaced by The Royal Hampshire Regiment 1966.

"Haluan tuhkani lepäävän Seinen rannalla Ranskan kansan keskuudessa, jota suuresti rakastin.”
(ransk. ”Je désire que mes cendres reposent sur les bords de la Seine, au milieu de ce peuple français que j'ai tant aimé.”)
Hevosen pää minun, pirun pää hevosella, minun pää pirun.
Ei kaiken tarvi olla niin helvetin vakavaa ja surullista. Me kuollaan kaikki joka tapauksessa, koska maapallolla kuolleisuus on 100% ilman yhtäkään poikkeusta.
