Talk:Battle of Anholt

Some new primary sources have come to light, hence some small edits to the Anholt article. If there are factual errors that my post is deemed to have made, please substantiate these changes by quoting source material. I was surprised that Captain Torrens of the Royal Marines was not mentioned in the article. Keith H99 (talk) 23:14, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Casualty Numbers
As read from the new (2011) memorial on Anholt - see reference to photos under consequences - 32 named officers and men were recorded as killed or who died of their wounds due to the Battle of Anholt 1811, as recorded by the Danish Authorities, and buried on Anholt.

This compares with the contemporary British report of "between thirty and forty buried" plus twentythree severely wounded of which three have since died of their wounds". Viking1808 (talk) 16:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The consequences section is rife with UK bias and on the whole the article favours the British sources of the day (which were certainly partial to the Empire, just as we are to some of our social and political structures today). Victors may have had a monopoly on history in the times of the papyrus and the printing press, but I don't see why we should let that be the case with today's knowledge and technology.

The url for the memorial from 2011 has changed and is now updated (it was correct on the Danish wikipedia equivalent article). Viking1808 (talk) 19:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
