The “Orgaan der Nederlandsch-Indische Officierenvereeniging” and its Background

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 June 2011

Extract

In December 1914 some officers of the Netherlands-Indies army came together in the Concordia Club in Malang to discuss the desirability of founding an officer's society. The Malangsche Comité sent a circular to all their fellow officers propounding the establishment of an officers' society. They considered that “the present Great War will, without doubt, result in great and radical changes” and argued that the army felt itself neglected and that, the more united the officers' corps, the better support it could give the government in the turbulent times ahead. This call was heeded, the Vereeniging was established and the Malangsche Comité declared itself dissolved.
