Gents,

Getting close to completion and the remaining scens are quite small. I may look a little foolish popping them out so quickly...but I want to get them completed so I can move on to something else and not let them linger in the incompleted bin any longer.

>Simultaneously with the defeat of the field forces on Java...this occured...

viz: "The Muaratebo Defense"

6 March, 1942
Muaratebo, Sumatra: After the fall of Palembang, to the Japanese,
and the evacuation of most of the Allied units in southern Sumatra
to Java, elements of the Japanese 38th Division pursued some
remaining elements of the Dutch KNIL forces north into central
Sumatra. This area was almost completely undeveloped and in
places had never been expolored by the outside world. In addition
to the thick jungle, the seasonal monsoon had brought all of the rivers into severe flood stage. The Dutch remnants, from southern Sumatra, under the command of Maj C.F. Hazenburg fought
harrassing delaying actions against the Japanese who pursued them to the town of Muaratebo, on the Hari River. Here, beginning on March 3rd, the Dutch made a stand along the flooded river.
Additional Dutch units were able to make their way to the area from the middle provinces. On 6 March, the Japanese made a determined
effort to get across the river.

Enjoy guys
Cheers
Curt
