The Example

The Battle of Surabaya

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945. The bloody battle took place because Indonesians refused to surrender their weaponry to the British army.

There were many reports about the death, but it was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Due to this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought in reinforcements to siege the city. In the early morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to advance into Surabaya with cover from both naval and air bombardment. Even though the Indonesians defended the city heroically, the city was conquered within 3 days and the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. Sadly, the battle killed 16,000 Indonesians while casualties on the British side were about 2,000.

Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country’s independence struggle. However, the battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country’s independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national revolution. After that, Indonesia commemorates the battle annually on 10 November, to pay tribute and honor for those who died defending the city and Indonesia's freedom.
