Departure Plancius with 540 KNIL demobilizers and returnees to the Moluccas Priok: Plancius brings 540 indigenous KNIL demobilizers and recuperants back to the Moluccas. They have lost much under the Jappenage, these indigenous KNIL faithful with their long-standing record. Loyal to their cause, to our queen and flag, they have constantly stood at the front of the gap. Their families have often not seen them for many years, because they were locked in Republican internment camps. Now they return, for a well-deserved recuperation or to demobilise. Their homeland in the Moluccas, both in Menado
