Tomb of Colonel Cathcart in the fort of Anjerie
Inscription on monument begins: M.S. Hons. Caroli. Cathcart. &c. &c. &c. Non minus animo acri, vehemente, interrito, in Bello, quam facundia in Senatu Magnae Britanniae., Colonel Charles Allan Cathchart (1759-1788) died in Bangka Strait when on his mission as British ambassador to China. The companions of his voyage erected in the fort at Anjerie, within the palisade, a wooden monument to his memory bearing a suitable inscription, of which, being a perishable material, the friends and relatives of the deceased may not be displeased to see an accurate representation. (See Barrow.)
