This is a non-profit historical memorial website founded by Dutch veterans of the 7 December Divisie who served in Indonesia. Its core mission is to document the history of this unit during the Dutch colonial war of 1946-1950, commemorate the soldiers who died in the conflict, and preserve and publish related historical materials, filling the historical record gap of this "forgotten war."
The site's content covers the unit's formation background, combat history, and casualty data, and also chronicles the evolution of annual commemorative events. It preserves and publishes a large collection of veterans' personal photos, oral memories, original documents, and other first-hand materials, making it an important open source for researching this period of history. In 2016, it was recognized by the Royal Library of the Netherlands as part of Dutch digital cultural heritage.
The website is currently directly accessible from China, with normal page loading speeds, no paid content whatsoever, and all materials freely available to the public. As a site that has been running for over 18 years, its content is well-established, with clear logical organization of all historical information, and the preservation value of first-hand materials is very high.
The drawbacks are also quite apparent: the site only supports Dutch, making it very unfriendly to non-Dutch speakers; the interface design is traditional and plain, with no mobile optimization, resulting in a mediocre interactive experience; and functionality is limited to material display only, with no open interactive comment section or entry for material submissions.
This website is suitable for researchers of Dutch colonial history and post-WWII decolonization history in Southeast Asia as a reference source. It is also suitable for 7 December Divisie veterans and their families to look up information on commemorative events and browse related historical materials. General history enthusiasts can also use the first-hand materials to learn about this rarely mentioned chapter of war history.
