I have reserached this and found only about 100-150 Sumatrans died during this campaign, it says that in your listed external links and info I have researched myself. Also, why is this entitled as an attack and not a battle? -- Aj4444 ( talk) 23:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC) 100-150 died in the battle, but after the battle downs bombarded the town and killed another 300 natives. See here http://www.sabrizain.org/malaya/potomac.htm The reason i titled the article Attack on Quallah Battoo was because the article was about the entire incident and not just the battle.

Almost every account of the Sumatran expeditions say the Malays were in fact pirates that operated as pirates from the 1810s to the 1840s so why are the Sumatran Expeditions not considered an action against piracy?. The United States considered them pirates, the British considered them pirates and they attacked and robbed dozens of ships over the course of thirty years. When the merchant ship Friendship was attacked, the Malays stole it's cargo. When the Malays attacked the Eclipse in 1837, again they stole the cargo. The British launched an entire campaign and occupation in an effort to destroy this threat. I would like someone to respond before I add the "anti-piracy battles involving the united states" category to this page. -- $1LENCE D00600D ( talk) 08:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
