Last Words of Sir Richard Grenville —

Here I, Richard Grenville, die with a joyous and quiet mind, for that I have ended my life as a true soldier ought to do, fighting for his country, queen, religion and honor. My soul willingly departing from this body, leaving behind the lasting fame of having behaved as every valiant soldier is in his duty bound to do" —

True and worthy of my dear and noble soldier Robert S. Edwards
