Kenneth Anderson (1910–1974) was an Indian writer and hunter who wrote many books about his adventures in the jungles of South India. His son, Donald "Don" Anderson, spent his own life in those same jungles his father once roamed. Don passed away in 2014, and was laid to rest in the same grave as his father — the two of them together in the same quiet corner of Bangalore they both called home.

On the gravestone you'll read:
