Today I received photocopies of my grandfather Han Samethini's military records. They include a Japanese "kampkaartje" (POW camp identification card). The name of the camp, located in Malang, is written in Japanese. I am trying to get this translated.
The card states that Samethini was attached to the VI Infantry (battalion?). Can anyone tell me about this KNIL unit and its deployments? Did these soldiers fight in the defense of Malang?
