Hi Annie,
           Morto pela Patrio  =  Died for his country .

Havent a clue about Grart Guanicao  assume it is a regimental or battalion title such as Grand Guards or similar.
                                         Hope you can get an accurate translation then you can research in his home land.
                    Regards Rog.

Hi Annie,
            Great that you have had a transcription from Panda. I don't wish to be a wet blanket but having looked carefully at my manipulated image of the gravestone I dispute a couple of points.

 A... The curved word at top appears to be CAPI not CAPRI. I think it should probably have fullstops  and read as  C.A.P.I.

 B...The word Grart  Appears to have aspace between the first r and the a and possibly a fullstop.

     Now knowing that the next word translates as Garrison things become clearer .  Gr.art  is probably the standard abbreviatin for a soldier associated with a heavy gun unit . I surmise in English would read as Gunner Artillary Garrison.

            Why not contact the Portugese Embassy they will probably be able to tell you all about the Grave and maybe the soldier .I think they must  have an equivalent of our CWGC as I have seen the same type of stone in French War Cemeteries.
                                                        Again, Good Luck ,Rog

Hi everyone
Here are the photos I took so you can all have a look close up. As to who to contact some time ago I did another lookup at shorncliffe without any luck and I posted the contact details on that post, i9f some kind person could link the posts together then Annie can make contact. As far as I remember the people were very helpful when the lady concerned telephoned them.
Regards Panda
Ps I will upload the file in a minute as it keeps giving me an error message.
