The Dutch troops relieve the British troops in Palembang. SHOTS: A Dutch troop-ship(?) arrives in the mouth of the river the Moesi on Sumatra; the soldiers of the KNIL and the Royal Land Forces transfer to landing crafts and sail onto the river, escorted by Dutch marine ships; the disembarkation takes place in the harbour of Palembang, where lorries drive across the ramp to the shore; on the quay are a lot of soldiers and equipment.
