On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or 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 British army. British Army at that time was part of the Allied Forces.
The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played a very important role in this battle.
It all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in Surabaya, under the
command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby already had an agreement with Governor of East
Java Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their
weapons.
However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet told Indonesians to do
otherwise on 27 October 1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt
betrayed.
On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British troops’ post near Jembatan
Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports about the death, but it was widely believed that the
Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking at 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. Although the Indonesians defended the city heroically, the city was conquered
within 3 days and the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between 6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians died while
casualties on the British side were about 600 to 2000.
