BURGANET, or BURGONET, _Fr._ a kind of helmet used by the French. BURIALS, as practised by the military, are as follows, in the British service, viz. The funeral of a field-marshal shall be saluted with 3 rounds of 15 pieces of cannon, attended by 6 battalions, and 8 squadrons. That of a general, with 3 rounds of 11 pieces of cannon, 4 battalions, and 6 squadrons. That of a lieutenant-general, with 3 rounds of 9 pieces of cannon, 3 battalions, and 4 squadrons. That of a major-general, with 3 rounds of 7 pieces of cannon, 2 battalions, and 3 squadrons. That of a brigadier-general, 3 rounds of 5 pieces of cannon, 1 battalion, and 2 squadrons. That of a colonel, by his own battalion, or an equal number by detachment, with 3 rounds of small arms. That of a lieutenant-colonel, by 300 men and officers, with 3 rounds of small arms. That of a major, by 200 men and officers, with 3 rounds of small arms. That of a captain, by his own company, or 70 rank and file, with 3 rounds of small arms. That of a lieutenant, by 1 lieutenant, 1 serjeant, 1 drummer, 1 fifer, and 36 rank and file, with 3 rounds. That of an ensign, by an ensign, a serjeant, and drummer, and 27 rank and file, with 3 rounds. That of an adjutant surgeon, and quarter-master, the same party as an ensign. That of a serjeant, by a serjeant, and 19 rank and file, with 3 rounds of small arms. That of a corporal, musician, private man, drummer, and fifer, by 1 serjeant and 13 rank and file, with 3 rounds of small arms. All officers, attending the funerals of even their nearest relations, notwithstanding wear their regimentals, and a black crape round the left arm. The pall to be supported by officers of the same rank with that of the deceased: if the number cannot be had, officers next in seniority are to supply their place. The order of march to be observed in military funerals is reversed with respect to rank. For instance, if an officer is buried in a garrison town or from a camp, it is customary for the officers belonging to other corps to pay his remains the compliment of attendance. In which case the youngest ensign marches at the head immediately after the pall, and the general, if there be one, in the rear of the commissioned officers, who take their posts in reversed order according to seniority. The battalion, troop or company follow the same rule. The expence for a regimental burial is to be charged against the captains of the respective troops or companies. For further particulars, see Reid’s Military Discipline. BURR, in gunnery, a round iron ring, which serves to rivet the end of the bolt, so as to form a round head. BURREL-_shot_, small bullets, nails, and stones discharged from any piece of ordnance. BUSKINS, a kind of shoe, or half boot, adapted to either foot; formerly a part of the Roman dress, particularly for tragic actors on the stage. They are now much worn by the army.
