The Dutch Indies Army (KNIL) recruited very young child
soldiers during the Second World War, on the island of Java. The youngest soldier was seven years
old. This has now become known as the Dutch
government will make a one-time back payment of 25,000 Euro to the former
soldiers and officials who never received payment during the 41 months of
Japanese occupation of the former Dutch Indies.
Many of them were detained by the Japanese during that period.
