Default Shermans
Stellan,
These are not KNIL tanks, but Royal NL Marines. A brigade sized unit was trained and fully equipped in the US and they had a squadron of HVSS 105mm Shermans.
Also emploed were recce troops with Halftracks and M8 Armoured cars (this unit included some Dutch Army officers, Hussars, but not KNIL men, I think).

Greetings
Nuyt
