Abstract:

Brief document is a British Army pass for P.R.S. Mani as Free Press of India foreign correspondent, to travel to the ‘interior’ of Java. Note signature “[Laurens] van der Post, GSI British HQ”. Note that Post was Lt Colonel in British Army but was an Afrikaner of Dutch descent. This must have raised questions in the Indonesian climate of deep suspicion that the British were not only supporting the Dutch but bringing in Dutch troops under cover of their own. Note also the use of the term ‘Public Relations’ in this British Army document to describe independent journalism. Finally, note the concept of ‘interior’ as applying to ALL of Java outside Batavia which is where the British HQ was located.
