Kedjoerön van Boekét is a subject named in *General Swart, Pacifier of Atjeh (1943) by [[Maurice Henri du Croo|M. H. du Croo, in connection with the history of Atjeh and the governorship of H. N. A. Swart.
Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Meergebied
In February the hiding-place of Keutjhi’ Saman, the long-sought panglima of the ex-pretender sultan, was surprised; he fell with three adherents. Sixteen more were killed and a carbine taken in another action, among the dead being recognised a nephew of the Kedjoerön van Boekét. In May a klewang attack on a marching bivouac near Nalon cost one killed, three wounded and one carbine; more blows fell on the Telong band; more ladangs and hiding-places of Tgk. di Barat were cleared up in the Samarkilangsche; and in July came the report that in most valleys of this mountain country submission was under deliberation — that month costing the resistance nineteen killed, sixty-three submissions and three precious carbines.
From The resistance in Atjeh 1908–1912
Sixteen more were killed and a carbine taken in another action, among the dead being recognised a nephew of the Kedjoerön van Boekét. Then some months without much contact; in May a klewang attack on a marching bivouac near Nalon (one killed, three wounded, one carbine); another blow at the Telong band; more reports, more ladangs and hiding-places of Tgk. di Barat cleared up in the Samarkilangsche; and at last in July the news that in most valleys of this mountain country submission was under deliberation — that month costing the resistance nineteen killed, sixty-three reports and three precious surrendered carbines.
From Telongbende
The carbines came from a group of infantry returning from Samarkilang, surprised in its marching bivouac at Tjampoeron, in which the European sergeant and brigade commander, six men and four convicts were killed and seven fusiliers and four convicts wounded. In January 1911 the Telongbende fired on Dutch patrols; the same year it “received the blow that had long been intended for it,” losing sixteen men and a carbine, a nephew of the Kedjoerön van Boekét being recognised among the dead. On 16 October 1911 the bulk of the band — twenty men with all its commanders — submitted, handing in the last three carbines lost at Tjampoeron.
