Cemetery information received from photographer:-
Gravestones at the Old Dutch Graveyard in Melaka, Malaysia (including relocated ones (which in turn includes a plaque of Jan van Riebeeck’s wife’s original burial place)). There are a number of duplicates but I wanted to err on the side of caution.
Surnames include Van Riebeck, Scott, Van Zyl, Mans, Muller, Wilmzen, Westerhout, Van Eeckel, Rooselaar, Herbers, Evertsen, Pietersen, Verdonck, Schenknbergh, du Moulin, Barber.
Sabandaar/Syahbandar is what we would today term a Harbourmaster. Colin Pretorius.
