Inscription

The headstone image is difficult to read but what I can make out is:

In Loving Memory of John Hall Best
Late Rector of St Giles Greenwich
Who passed away 7 Jul 1915
ADSUM (Latin for 'Here I am')
I hope to see my pilot,
face to face, when
I have crossed the bar

(The last bit after the Latin phrase, is from Lord Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar")

Very poor
