English: Monument to Capt. Richard Rundle Burges (1754-1979) in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. The engraving reads:
Sacred to the memory of Richard Rundle Burges Esquire Commander of His Majesty's ship the Ardent who fell in the XLIIId (43rd) year of his age, while bravely supporting the honour of the British flag; in a daring and successful attempt to break the enemy's line, near Camperdowne: on the 11th of October MDCCXCVII (1797). His skill coolness and intrepidity eminently contributed, to a victory: equally advantageous and glorious to his country. That grateful country, by the unanimous act of her legislature, enrolls his name high in the list of those heroes; who under the blessing of providence, have established and maintained her naval superiority; and her exalted rank among nations. |
