Ge-eft Acht! Schetsen uit het Indische soldatenleven

A collection of short sketches and anecdotes portraying soldiers’ daily life and service in the Dutch East Indies, addressing recruitment, discipline, interactions with clergy, camp routines, household arrangements, musical and ceremonial practices, and military engagements. The narrator combines practical observation, moral commentary, and light humor to convey hardships, punishments, camaraderie, and the everyday adaptations of troops abroad. Individual pieces range from portraits of officers, chaplains, and household attendants to accounts of specific operations and local encounters, while several essays reflect on vice, reform, and the pastoral and medical care provided to men in service.
