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)
Full text of "A History of the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own)"

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."
