Julias Rasch Harnburg
Interned German civilian, World War I. Clues found in the High Commissioner’s correspondence concerning Ramandroog (OIOC Shelfmark R/4/215) enable us to narrow Harnburg’s grave down to one of two concrete slabs of similar construction, both of which show shallow square sockets for grave markers, which are now missing. The other concrete slab marks the grave of E. A. Weddig (see Weddig entry below). Information from British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia and R/4/215.

Alfred M. Winslow
son of Capt. Winslow
24 Rosleids
18 Nov 1865
Venkatesh found the remains of Winslow’s stone in the weeds during our Jan 02 visit. The identification hangs on the parts of three letters “Alf” that can be identified in the lower left corner of the fragment; there are no other individuals whose name begins with “Alf” known to have been interred at Ramandroog. When asked what happened to his stone, Ignaciappa speculated that it was recycled by a local villager.
