I just realize there's a thread like this.

Before i post something in here, i need some clarification first. May i post knil photos in here? The majority is pre-war and post-war though.

Yes you can

Thank you.

Here we go.

Pre War / Wartime
An old native officer with his family.

1938-1942 dated photo of native soldier. Based from the sleeve badge he worn, he's both signalman and i think radioman.

A couple photo dated in 1941.

Pre-1938 photo of captain and first lieutenant.

Farrier School in Cimahi West Java, dated 1938 - 1942.

I still got many of these photos but the quality is less to be desired to show in here.

Searchlight Unit in Surabaya and Cimahi

Whether the corporal / sergeant on the left is cavalryman or stableman.

After training?

Netherlands navy on a ceremony but the leader on the middle is from knil.

Dornier 24s on the background from a civilian family photo in pontianak borneo.

If you check closely, the roundel on that dornier is triangle shape one not the circle one.

Post War
A european, indo (eurasian descent) and chinese descent photograph together with chinese descent civilians.

Another chinese descent soldier.

3 officers.

3 soldiers with their jeep.

Another jeep with "HOLLAND" writing on it.

KNIL unit called "andjing NICA itam" dated 1948-49.

Photo # 13 appears to be a listening device for enemy aircraft?

Thank you very much gents.

Yes it is. There's a writing on the back of the photo too. I it's written "luistertoestel chemie - automatische luchtdoel zoeklicht soerabaja".
About this luistertoestel, these is some links about those thing. But is in dutch though.

This is a photo of my father in England 1943/44 in front of his Chev. C8 CMP. I was fortunate to visit his artillery trenches with him in Holland in the 50's when he was posted to Germany for 3 years.
