    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. 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.
