Memorial to Colonel Webb 2/7th Bo. N.I., Malawan. The Konkun Coast. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters

Title:
Riari [Redi] Fort, The Konkun Fort. Graves of 11 British soldiers buried within the fort. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters
Scope & Content:
In the assault 3 Europeans and 5 Indian sepoys were killed, but among the 25 wounded perhaps other soldiers died of their wounds. For a short while a company of the 89th remained as a garrison, after which Riari became a sanatorium for British troops. This may account for the additional graves.

Title:
English Cemetery at Cabo. Goa, Portuguese India. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters
Scope & Content:
Enclosed and, during the British regime, reasonably cared for. It would seem that during the British Occupation of Goa 1798-1815 burials were at Aguada, although that place is not enclosed, presumably, too, is not consecrated ground.
