BTW I mean both Samarinda and SamII had overvalwagens. I am not sure if Makassar by the time of fighting still had them (Nortier does not mention them)

Dear Nuyt,
How the hell did they bring OV:s to Sam II? In the middle of the jungle?
Makssar could be wrong. My notes: 4 OV:s on Celebes.
(Talking of Makassar my wife´s uncle Captain KNIL Andi Abdul Azis made rebellion against Soekarno in Makassar 1950 - failed and served 16 yrs inprisonment).
Rain: I have already experienced on my way from the pub.
But tomorrow: sunshine!
