  Notes	In 1891 Jelke Hartkamp's father, Durk Hartkamp, arrived in Indonesia as a soldier in the Royal Dutch Colonial Army (KNIL; Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger, also refered to as the Royal Dutch-East India Army) and was stationed in Malang (Java). Durk married Johanna Mathilde van Horsen and they had two sons. Durk died at 36 and his surviving 4 year old son Jelke was placed in an orphanage in Indonesia. Jelke, like his father before him served in the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL). Jelke served as a Warrant Officer with the rank of Adjudant or executive officer to the commanding officer at the Padang Military Hospital. Following the invasion of Indonesia by Japanese forces Jelke was captured and and placed in a Japanese POW camp (see Japanese Internment Card below). Jelke Hartkamp, married Sophie de Graaff. An expulsion of people of Dutch heritage from Indonesia by president Sukarno led to Jelke, Sophie and their eight children migrating to the Netherlands in search of Hartkamp relatives. The children included five boys (Jelke, Andries, Jacob Eddy, Frans, and George (Sjors) and three girls Joke, Henny and Erna). Travelling on the 'Fair Sea' (Fairsea) Jelke and his family arrived in the Netherlands on the 27 September 1950. On arrival in the Netherlands the Dutch government placed the families in Hotels. Jelke then began his search for Dutch relatives he had never previously met or been in contact with. After asking every visiting salesmen to the hotel if they new of any Hartkamps he was eventually told by a traveller from Joure that he new of Hartkamps in Joure. Jelke and his family eventually settled in Joure, Friesland. On the 18 October 1951 Jelke was awarded the Silver Medal for services to the military. [3]
