[34] Brevet Major John Wynne Fletcher was senior captain of the regiment, in which he had served most zealously twenty-five years, and he was sincerely lamented by his brother officers. He was aide-de-camp to Lieut.-General Sir Henry Warde, K.C.B., commander of the forces in the Windward and Leeward Islands, who followed his remains to the grave, and directed a marble tablet, with the following inscription, to be placed in the church at Bridgetown;-- SACRED TO THE MEMORY of a good Christian, a gallant soldier, and an honest man, in life beloved and in death lamented. Near this spot rest the mortal remains of Brevet Major JOHN WYNNE FLETCHER, Captain in the Fourth, or the King's Own Regiment of Foot, And Aide-de-camp to Lieut.-General Sir Henry Warde, Who departed this life on the 24th of October, 1824, Aged 39 years. SUCCESSION OF COLONELS OF THE FOURTH, OR THE KING'S OWN REGIMENT OF FOOT. CHARLES EARL OF PLYMOUTH. _Appointed 13th July, 1680._ CHARLES FITZ-CHARLES, natural son of King Charles II., by Catherine, daughter of Thomas Pegg, Esq., of Yeldersley, in Derbyshire, was advanced to the peerage in July, 1675, by the titles of Baron Dartmouth, Viscount Totness, and EARL OF PLYMOUTH. Being a sprightly youth, and an aspirant to military fame, he obtained permission of the king, his father, to proceed in the character of a volunteer to the city of Tangier, in Africa, where he was initiated in the first rudiments of war. Having been educated abroad, he was familiarly styled Don Carlos, and in the printed narratives of several skirmishes with the Moors he is spoken of in terms of commendation. While he was engaged in the defence of this fortress the SECOND TANGIER, now KING'S OWN, regiment of foot was raised in England, of which his lordship was appointed colonel. During the siege he was attacked with a severe dysentery, of which he died in October, 1680, in the twenty-third year of his age. He was a very promising officer, of good natural abilities, affable, generous, and brave, and his death was much regretted by his companions in arms, also by the king, his father. His body was embalmed, sent to England, and interred in Westminster Abbey. PIERCY KIRKE. _Appointed 27th November, 1680._
