Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From Keutjhi’ Bén
Keutjhi’ Bén was den grooten en onvindbaren Keutjhi’ Bén uit Geumpang, killed in September 1911 in Pameu by sergeant Gackstätter.
From Westkust van Atjeh
December 1910 brought the submission of Tgk. Poeti’ with all his teungkoes, panglimas and sixty followers, and thanks to that general improvement various landschappen could in January 1911 be opened for industrial and agricultural undertakings — “and this is indeed a very great advance on the fanatical West Coast.” In September 1911 the great and unfindable Keutjhi’ Bén of Geumpang was surprised twice by Van Arkel and finally killed by sergeant Gackstätter in Pameu. “And with this the time of “political situation favourable” dawned for Meulaboh as well.”
From Geumpang
In August 1910 the bivouac commander of Geumpang, onderluitenant A. H. C. Roelofsen, “at last laid low the long-sought and notorious resistance leader in that district, Keudjroeën Leupoe” H. N. A. Swart’s letter to Schmidt of 26 December 1909 named the further quarry there: Keudjroeën Leupoe’s sons T. Adé and T. Ma’E, then Keutjhi’ Bén Bangkèh and Keutjhi’ Linto. The great Keutjhi’ Bén, for whom Geumpang had become too hot, withdrew to the Boven Moegò district and was killed in Pameu in September 1911.
