Default Another KNIL oldie

According to Col Heshusius this should be a White. That I don´t know.

What I do know is that the towed gun is a 120 mm howitzer M/1900. Six (?) such were brought to NEI in the Atjeh War and used during the 1906 Bali expedition. They were in two indep how Btys in Batavia - later became A I Hw. So this picture is taken before the 105 mm how:s came in 1924-25 and with those also new trucks.

4 of these 120 mm howitzers were in 1942 deployed at Kalianget, Madoera.

ADDED 11th Jul: It looks more like a Büssing to me (see the stearing-wheel).
