Hello Paul, I think you do know me enough that I do not any judgement lighthearted and I NEVER want to tear down a good item. What you did get to know about the "full length" of the inscription is correct. I would read it the same way.
BUT as said, there ARE SEVERAL grammar errors and it is NOT absolutely correct! Believe me, any 1st class pupil would not write this incorrect way and again I assume that this inscripton was not done by a german speaking person.
And -please- take a look at least at the second "D", there for sure another letter has been inscribed.
To my best knowledge "Brigade" has "Brg." as abbrevation or "Bg." and not "Br." but I have to admit that I am not totally sure IN THIS CASE therefore I did recommend to check it.
Regards,
