Beverley Minster:
Grabmal für Generalmajor Barnard Foord Bowes (1769-1812), der in der Grabinschrift wie folgt beschrieben wird:
'A beloved and 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 Paul's by his 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 defense 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.
So sleep the brave, now sunk to rest by all their country's wishes blest ...
