***This [http://www.hindu.com/lr/2003/09/07/stories/2003090700240400.htm review], from ''The Hindu'', of the book ''Travel Writing and the Empire'' by Sachidananda Mohanty (Editor), gives details of one of the essays "Colonialism, Surveillance and Memoirs of travel: Tegart's Diaries and the Andaman Cellular Jail", where "Tutun Mukherjee looks at the "Memoir of an Indian Policeman", a compilation made by Tegart's wife of the diaries of Charles Augustus Tegart, British loyalist and Police Commissioner. The Memoir, Mukherjee notes, records a particularly violent chapter in India's colonial history, that of extremism, British repression and brutal colonial incarceration. Travelling to the Cellular Jail in the beautiful Andaman archipelago in 1913, Tegart notes the careful architecture of the prison, recording all the many ways in which the prisoners were kept under control, his eyes ever alert for lapses in vigilance".

*Bill Taylor of the Bombay Police Force became Deputy Commissioner of Police. His daughter Maxine (whose married name became Steller) describes life as a policeman's daughter. Initially, the family lived in quarters behind the various police stations he was assigned to, where her life was very different to the ones normal families led. They moved to some very dangerous areas, and during riots the children would be escorted to and from school by a sepoy. Her father later on had responsibility for ensuring the safety of visiting dignitaries. <ref>[http://www.tajmahalfoxtrot.com/?p=1672 Maxine Steller’s Bombay] tajmahalfoxtrot.com </ref>
