040821 Comment on picture PO2819.002 Neth. Indies Army Forces on Borneo. Late May 1945. I strongly suggest you verify this date. WW II in South East Asia ended 15 August 1945.,
when Japan surrendered.

J. Meijer (above):
Date confirmed. The Tarakan campaign took place in May 1945 three months before the Japanese surrendered. This was not a vital campaign in the advance on Japan that ended the war and was well behind the main front.
