The KNIL, short for the Royal Dutch East India Army, obviously used to appeal to the imagination. Many drawings, paintings and even games showed the operations of these soldiers who served in a far and exotic country

Their actions were usually highly praised and that makes these images something of the past in every sense of the word.
These and thousands of other images can be found in the collection.
