Uncle Dirk 1921-2012

            This is my uncle Dirk who died recently.
He was my grandmothers brother, they both were born in the Dutch Indies.
He joined the navy and when war came he was aboard HNLMS De Ruyter.
He saw action during the battle of Bali Sea, the battle of Badung Strait and finally the Battle of the Java Sea where his ship was sank.
He was made POW by the Japanese and was forced to work on the infamous Burma Railway while the rest of my family was send to the concentration camps.
After the war he moved to Australia.
