    At the end of World War II many Indonesians believed that independence

    was imminent. Few realized that it would be another five years of fighting before the
    country became a fully independent republic. The area around the east Javanese
    town of Surabaya became the scene of some of the heaviest fighting, and the Battle
    of Surabaya, which cost the lives of many thousands of Indonesians, became a
    symbol of resistance to the re-imposition of Dutch colonial rule.
    The future President Sukarno declared independence on 17 August 1945, and
    on 19 September, Dutch internees, with Japanese support, occupied the Oranje
    Hotel in Surabaya, and hoisted the Dutch flag. While this was taking place, young
    Indonesians were busily replacing Japanese flags in all the offices with Indonesian
    ones.
    When they heard what the Dutch had done, the Indonesians rushed to the
    hotel, and hand to hand fighting began with the Dutch, who were determined to
    defend their flag. Very soon shots were heard, and several people fell - both Dutch
    and Indonesian - as several Indonesian youths climbed the flagpole and ripped the
    blue stripe off the Dutch flag.
    By the beginning of October, fierce fighting had broken out between the
    Indonesians and the Japanese, who refused to hand over their arms. The
    Indonesians managed to take possession of numerous buildings throughout
    Surabaya, and commandeered hundreds of cars and trucks to facilitate their
    movement throughout the town.
    Then, on 25 October, some 6,000 British troops of the 49th Brigade
    of the 23rd Division under the command of Brigadier Mallaby, entered
    Surabaya. They had been ordered to organize the recovery of Allied
    prisoners-of-war, and the Indonesians were happy to co-operate.
    However, the British also sought to recapture Surabaya for the Dutch, and
    occupied key buildings and railway stations, and dropped leaflets over the
    town informing the populace that anyone seen bearing arms would be
    shot.
