Indonesia / Netherlands: Officer G. C. E. van Daalen (second from left) with officers during the military expedition to the Gayo-and Alas region in Aceh, North-Sumatra. Aceh War (1873-1914)

The Aceh War, also known as the Dutch War or the Infidel War (1873–1914), was an armed military conflict between the Sultanate of Aceh and the Netherlands which was triggered by discussions between representatives of Aceh and the United Kingdom in Singapore during early 1873. The war was part of a series of conflicts in the late 19th century that consolidated Dutch rule over modern-day Indonesia. Gotfried Coenraad Ernst Frits van Daalen (23 March 1863 – 22 February 1930) was an 'Indo' (Eurasian) Lieutenant General of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army who served in the Dutch East Indies.  Van Daalen's 'Gajo-, Alas-, and Batak Campaign' of the Aceh War in 1904 is mostly remembered for his hard crack down of the last Acehnese and Batak pockets of resistance. In particular the battle at Kuta Reh stood out, as the rebels refused to surrender and the death toll of 561 Acehnese included 189 women and 59 children.
