Description
Depicts an unidentified airman, sailor and soldier of the Netherlands East Indies Forces. Note that while the sailor and air force officer appear to be Europeans, the soldier of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) is clearly Indonesian, and carries the traditional Klewang, or cutlass, in his left hand.
