Information from the locals indicates that an Allied soldier's remains may have been disturbed on this hill above the railway station. The bones were too large to have been of local origin. Photo courtesy of C. Sandell (grandson of VX73689 C. A. R. Douglas). id no. C_SANDELL_711

This is the site of the disturbed burial. Possibly the Allies used the hill as a cemetery during their stay here until being entrained for Batavia. The locals use the hilltop as a cemetery today. Photo courtesy of C. Sandell (grandson of VX73689 C. A. R. Douglas). id no. C_SANDELL_714

This lady saluted several of the group's men. It is highly likely she was a child in the village at the time of the 2/2 Pioneers camping in the market place and saw them saluting officers. Photo courtesy of C. Sandell (grandson of VX73689 C. A. R. Douglas). id no. C_SANDELL_730
