"I had collected £30-5-0 from the Loyalists of Douglas to erect the headstone and railing around the graves but due to the disturbed state of the country had been prevented from having the work at the graves begun."

"But as soon as Peace was declared I ordered a stone and railing for Trooper Jones' grave and should the funds prove sufficient I shall order the same for the grave of Trooper McLeod."
