Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Gajòlanden
In October the bivouac at Goempang was burned and a klewang attack made on the monthly transport to Koeala Simpang at Pénding, costing three wounded against ten of the attackers killed; but some thirty-eight ill-disposed men were killed that month and a number submitted voluntarily. At the end of November H. N. A. Swart visited the district and could already visit gampongs two hours from Blang Kedjerèn without military escort.
From The resistance in Atjeh 1908–1912
In October the bivouac at Goempang was still burned and a klewang attack was made on the monthly transport to Koeala Simpang at Pénding, in which the Dutch had three wounded while ten of the attackers fell; but through the increased Dutch activity some thirty-eight ill-disposed men were killed in that month, while a number of people submitted of their own accord and in November a number of prominent leaders fell or offered their submission. Thereafter improvement set in: at the end of November Swart visited the district and could already visit gampongs two hours from Blang Kedjerèn without military escort.
