This article tells us what happened before the battle and after the battle, but not what happened during the actual battle itself! Maury 12:13, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, not much detail is available about the Dutch side of this battle. I have updated it further adding regiments involved in the Travancore army and maybe you will find this update more useful. mkamat 18:51, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Just saw this now. No, my concern here is that the battle was apparently a naval one, but there is no detail at all on any naval actions. There's detail on a land action by marines, but I'm not sure this is the same thing? Maury 21:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

You are right. Maybe I should drop the word naval from the first sentence. mkamat 13:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Just read the article, seems more of a land battle by naval personnel that a naval battle. Eitherway just writing naval forces is bound to cause some problems. Dryzen 14:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
