Roberts and N P Chekkutty, a book on European gravestones and church memorials in the Malabar towns of [[Cannanore]] (Kannur), [[Tellicherry]] (Thalassery) and [[Mahé|Mahe]] which has details on the Portuguese, Dutch, French and English gravestones in the region. This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2013-02/1360967805 thread] gives details of the background to the book.

*This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2004-03/1078652672 post] states that the civilians were also knowledgeable about modern military developments and mentions Thomas Hervey Baber who was a Collector in Malabar in 1805. In November of that year he managed to track down and kill the Pyche Rajah. He did this with his own Revenue Kolkars, using tactics almost identical to those used so successfully in Malaya and Borneo in the late 1950s.
