Description: The British occupation of Java. An Indian soldier guards a former Japanese army light tank used by Indonesian nationalists until knocked out by British forces during the fighting in Surabaya (Soerabaja).
(Remark: The tank is a modified British Universal Carrier. The caption is misleading. What really is on the picture, is some unusual local conversion of British Universal carrier. Either japans or Indonesian nationalists supplied the vehicle with armoured roof and turret.)
Date: 27 November 1945
