• Honouring Hille Kleinstra's WWII Service

  In this article, I pay tribute to my great-grandfather, Hille Kleinstra, who served in the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army during World War II and died aboard the Junyo Maru ship when it was torpedoed. I share personal details about his life and military service, provide information on the history of World War II, the Dutch Army, and the sinking of the Junyo Maru, and offer resources for further research and genealogy.
