Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Nja’ Ali
That night the band held a meeting, and in the early morning of 20 May, about half past five, when the soldiers had even left their weapons unguarded to go and drink coffee and lieutenant Van Kregten was innocently winding his puttees, Si Ali, Tgk. Machmoed, Pang Abaih, Si Seuha and a certain Pang Hitam suddenly attacked him “with the well-known result.”
From Resistance in Daja and Lhong (1914)
“The plan to withdraw had already been formed when, in the night of 19 to 20 May, the utterly careless manner in which the Civil Authority and his escort chose and occupied their night quarters at the market quarter of Lam No (the weapons of both soldiers, who lodged in two different unwalled rooms, lay on the floor) gave them a fine chance to make a name and at the same time to provide themselves with weapons. That night a meeting of the band members took place, after which, in the early morning of 20 May at about half past five, when the soldiers had even left their weapons unguarded to go and drink coffee and lieutenant Van Kregten was innocently winding his puttees, Si Ali, Tgk. Machmoed, Pang Abaih, Si Seuha and a certain Pang Hitam suddenly attacked him, with the known result.”
