SURIADARMA HISTORY |
||
 |
 |
|
| Suriadarma houses a small museum. At this place the Dutch surrender was signed on the 8th of March 1942, leaving Indonesia in Japanese hands. Some Japanese ex-soldiers return here still every year ! | ||
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
|
| These original nametags still stand on the table, flanked by the Dutch and Japanese flag | ||
 |

|
| Finally we show you some VIP's on the wall and some original plates | ||
| Suriadarma museum is very well worth visiting once you are in Indonesia ! | ||
