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.

Yes it is. There's a writing on the back of the photo too. I it's written "luistertoestel chemie - automatische luchtdoel zoeklicht soerabaja".
