Dutch Soldiers on a Vacation in Cilincing Beach

In the middle of the Indonesian Independence War, Dutch soldiers still have time for fun in the beach. These pictures were taken in 2 August 1947 by photographer Hugo Wilmar and showing Dutch soldiers sunbathing in Cilincing Beach (Jakarta) with their spouses. The truck is a Canadian CMP 30 CWT 4x4


 A rear view of Dodge WC62 or WC 63 Weapons Carrier.  The difference is the 62 has no winch and the 63 does have one. 1.5 ton 6x6.


The vehicle in order, from front to back, are: A Citroën 11 (which could be prewar or postwar), a 1946 Chevrolet, and a 1947 Hudson.

Dutch Soldiers Playing Accordeon in front of Chevrolet Truck

This photograph come from the collection of Chris Fillet and show the Chevrolet 1½ ton 4x2 truck used by Dutch Zeven Dezember Divizie in Indonesia, circa 1946-1950. The 1941/1942 and 1946/1947 models were all almost identical but I (Bill) would guess this one is from 1946/1947 as the Dutch were re-equipping during that period.
