Grisseh was a district in the north‑eastern part of the Dutch East Indies, referenced in the source as the area where Dutch marines under Lieutenant‑colonel J. G. M. Nass operated in March 1942. The region experienced “onlusten” (unrest) among the indigenous population, which Dutch forces sought to suppress.
Military Activity
The Marinebataljon conducted patrols, dispersed unrest, and carried out executions of local leaders to restore order. Lieutenant‑colonel Nass also led reconnaissance missions westward from Grisseh.
Significance
Grisseh’s mention illustrates the spread of Dutch military operations beyond central Java, affecting peripheral regions that were part of the broader Aceh‑related colonial sphere.
