(19)  British Officer (1700's) - The grave of an officer in His 
Majesty's Navy who died on board ship in the port of Beaufort. Not 
wanting to be buried "with his boots off" he was buried standing up in 
full uniform:
"Resting 'neath a foreign ground,
Here stands a sailor of Mad George's crown
Name unknown, and all alone,
Standing the Rebel's Ground."
Brantley
