The struggle for the independence
The most famous patriot from Bali
After the defeat of Japan
In the World war Two
Indonesia’s former colonial, Netherlands
Attempted to take country back by military conquest
It was Bali in 1946
A young colonel
Organised Balinese soldiers
Into the People’s Military Force
Out-numbered and out-gunned
He used classic guerilla tactics
He based his forces
Only 97 fighters, to hound the Dutch
On slopes of Mount Agung
The Dutch assaulted their camp
And drove them to Marga, near Tabanan
Where they were wiped out in a battle
