Rank / Occupation: Ensign
Organisation: Coldstream Guards

Extra

Notes: 'The Caledonian Mercury' says that the transport 'Prince George' ran down an American bark during the night of the 6th March when bound for Lisbon. Her captain and all of her crew, except one, managed to get on board the 'Prince George'. In the confusion, the 'Prince George' then collided with the 'Isis' frigate. Whilst attempting to get on board the 'Isis', Ensign Long and two or three privates of the Coldstream Guards, fell overboard and drowned. The 'Prince George' survived the accident with the loss of a mast. Long's school friend, Lord Byron writing in 1821, said that Long's father had requested that he write an epitaph but he had not the heart to complete it. Byron confuses the transport 'Prince George' with the naval vessel 'St George', wrecked in the same year. The epitaph on the memorial is taken from the poem 'Childish Recollections' published in 'Hours of Idleness' 1807.
