De mariniers te Atjeh van 26 December 1875 tot 7 February 1876 is a concise Dutch monograph by R. J. J. P. Cambier that records the early phase of the Dutch marine expedition to Atjeh (Aceh). The work covers the period from the landing on 26 December 1875 to the withdrawal on 7 February 1876, summarising troop movements, bivouac locations in Groot Atjeh, and the challenges faced by the Korps Mariniers.
Structure
- Opening – Strategic rationale within the larger Aceh War.
- Operational Diary – Brief entries for December 1875 and January‑February 1876.
- Conclusion – Assessment of the limited gains and recommendations for future operations.
Significance
Although shorter than Cambier’s later 1875‑1876 volume, this document provides a focused snapshot of the early combat conditions and is frequently referenced alongside the Atjeh Marineblad (1890‑1891).
