My grandfather Jan de Vries was aboard HMS de Ruyter. Sergeant Stoker. After being picked up after 24 hours floating in the sea transported back to Java and from the to the Birma railroad. Back in the Netherlands in 1946.

My great uncle Frank was a Dutch soldier stationed at Fort Menari. From that vantage point he watched the ABDA fleet sailing out of Surbaya harbor. His father-in-law was an officer aboard the cruiser De Ruyter.
