READING COMPREHENSION
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.

Today was a particularly hectic day. Thankfully, Rose was at home to assist me in washing dishes, making quince jelly, and caring for our newest family member, the boy. This was yet another ordinary day. Jean came in after we completed our chores and began enjoying the dinner we had just prepared. Rose was tending to the child. A heavy knock came at the entrance. I sat there waiting for Jean or Rose to pass. Jean sprang from his seat, knife and fork both clutched in his hands. “Can’t a guy eat in peace?” he exclaimed. “I’ve come to arrest you Mr. Jean Clarkson for horse stealing,” a deep voice said when Jean opened the bell. I stood there watching Jean finish his last bite of dinner. He then told me that he was about to be arrested. If there was no subpoena, I informed him he didn’t have to go. I screamed at him, telling him he shouldn’t have let him in. Jean confidently said, “It’s all right, Mum,” in an attempt to quiet me down.
The bread was taken out of the oven by me. Jean ate the rest of his food from his bowl with a large slice of thick bread. Constable Fitzgerald was standing nearby. ‘I’ll just go grab my jacket!” Jean said. I chased after Jean, shouting at him for letting him in when he shouldn’t have. Rose’s screams could be heard. I dashed back to see what had happened. Fitzgerald was bullying her, she explained. I charged into the kitchen, grabbed the shovel, and smacked him in the face. Jean dashed back into the room and tackled him to the ground. Cathy was right there when the door swung open. Cathy entered the room and took Fitzgerald’s rifle. Fitzgerald was shot in the wrist by the revolver. “Touch our sister again, and there will be a bullet in your head,” both boys said as they stood there.
