Koning Willem III School te Batavia

Koning Willem III School te Batavia, abbreviated as KW III School, was an elite school in the Dutch East Indies which operated from 1860 to 1942 at the 5-year Hogere Burgerschool level and with an extra component for training officers and civil servants for the colonial service. Among its students were a number of key members of the Indonesian National Awakening including Agus Salim, Achmad Djajadiningrat, Mohammad Husni Thamrin, Ernest Douwes Dekker, and Johannes Latuharhary.

It became a demobilization center later on where personell after deployment would return, often for a celebratory meal. One such meal was held on August 31, 1948, hosting between 700 and 800 demoralizers.
