in 1940's.. it was recorded that British has acquired 1 Malay Cannon and laid it infront of Chelsea Royal Hospital



LOST CANNON AT CHELSEA

Made with Brass.ball and beautifully engraved the following inscription :





Now.. look carefully



Inscription was written "Sultan Sulaiman Shah 1653"...they were only 1 Sultan named "Sulaiman".. which is Sultan Sulaiman Muzaffar Shah.. died in Acheh.. sometime 1625


So?? which "Sulaiman"?







This inscription was written.. the Canon was made by"Tun Jumaat Abu Mendus" from Singgora (?)

and this one written :




Etched witeh Burmese word, saying that this Canon was confiscated during siege of Ayuthiya in 1666.


PLAUSIBLE FACTS

This Chelsea Hospital now only had 4 cannons.. all from India. None of which is categorized as "Malay Cannon".  







Now..

1.  Who is Sultan Sulaiman Shah 1653?.. 
2.  How this cannon ended up in Ayuthiya?
3.  Who is "Tun Jum'at Abu Mendus" the canon maker?
4.  Where the f*ck is my Canon now?? last recorded in Chelsea Hospital.. now only Indian made canons were there
