Raffles’ Atjeh-overeenkomst van 1819, by P. H. van der Kemp, in Bijdragen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch-Indië, 6e Volgr., Deel VII (1900), pp. 159-239. Universiteitsbibliotheek Vrije Universiteit, LS.08781.
Account from Oom Ambon van het K.N.I.L. (1954) — 1815
1815 was the year of the establishment of the Militaire Willemsorde (M.W.O.) — the Military Order of William — by King Willem I of the Netherlands, for “Moed, Beleid en Trouw” (Courage, Judgment and Loyalty) in the field. The M.W.O. would become the highest Dutch military decoration and the central decoration of the colonial army’s moral economy. In Oom Ambon van het K.N.I.L. 1815 is the founding year of the M.W.O., and therefore the opening of the decoration arc that the book narrates: the Ridders M.W.O. who carried Dominee Thenu’s bier at his funeral of 1937 all earned their decorations in the Aceh War and the related colonial pacifications, long after the 1815 establishment. The M.W.O. had four classes — Ridder 4e klas, Ridder 3e klas, Commandeur, Grootkruis — of which the 4e and 3e klassen were the decorations of the rank-and-file soldaat and the onderofficier.
