The Reason the Sailors of the Providence carried the Body's away is because of Honor and most importantly..... burial. Groves and Gillette were of quite high ranking and they were like 2 out of possibly 4 or 5 Officers aboard the Ship. If a Higher ranking Officer would to die in Battle it is the Common Soldier's Duty to try to either tend to their wounds or illness. If they are dead then they would try to bring them back to England for proper Burial. My important Question is! What happen to the Crew who escaped with the Bodies? Did they go with Barbossa, the Spanish!?! Or somewhere else? That is the more important Question!
