What does "Through Swettenham's huge efforts to convince that the British Foreign Office reversed its policy of accepting Siamese control of the northern tier of Malay states" mean? Its little better than Pidgin english. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 19:51, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Religious background[edit]

There is no mention in H.S. Barlow's biography of Swettenham having been Catholic, as the current Wikipedia entry states. Given his general background (in terms of the schools he attended and so forth), it seems more likely that his background was Anglican, but I can find no definite confirmation of this. I wonder if anyone else has more information? Laughing sandbags (talk) 14:09, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
