        It's a baptism at Tollesbury Essex but he was born Woodbridge, Suffolk. 1777.

            I think its grass guard. Mention of it here (if you do a word search for grass guard you'll see the specific piece)



            Several other references if you Google "grass guard" dragoons

              I agree with grass guard. Here's the OED definition: "grass-guard n. a man or body of men in charge of animals grazing."

                Thanks all. Adding Dragoon instead of Army helps!! My dictionary is right here on the shelf beside me
