Inscription  � At Hangbantotte ...... of fever, Captain Charles Driberg, Commandant of the District, aged 39 years, and on the same day Gertruida Elizabeth, his wife. By sudden removal of the heads of the family within four hours of each other, no less than seven children have been left totally unprovided for. To Captain Driberg's memory the Corps to which he belonged has borne honourable testimony, and the universally respected character of the parents has given rise to a great feeling of sympathy towards their offspring.�
