Gotfried Coenraad Ernst "Frits" van Daalen (23 March 1863 – 22 February 1930) was an Indo (Eurasian) Lieutenant General of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army who served in the Dutch East Indies. He was also the appointed Governor of Aceh from 1905 until 1908. == Biography == Van Daalen was named after his Dutch father ''Gotfried Coenraad Ernst (Frits) van Daalen'' (born in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands 23 July 1836 and died in Surabaya, 13 May 1889), also a famous, decorated KNIL officer and veteran of the Aceh War, who was discharged from service as a consequence of a scandal where he publicly offended the Governor-General of the colony. As a young officer in the rank of Lieutenant and Captain Van Daalen was awarded several prestigious military distinctions for proven bravery. He first became ''Knight of the Military William Order'' in 1890, was awarded the ''Honorary Sabre'' by the Dutch monarch in 1897, followed by becoming an ''Officer of the Military Willem Order'' in 1898.〔Note: Many other distinctions followed in the later part if his career.〕 Although notorious due to his controversial approach during the final phases of the protracted Aceh War and his consequent conflicts with both Van Heutsz and Snouck Hurgronje, he was appointed ''Governor of Aceh'' between 1905 and 1908.〔Naarding, W. ''Het conflict Snouck Hurgronje-Van Daalen. Een onderzoek naar de verantwoordelijkheid.'' (Utrecht, 1938)〕 He was eventually promoted to the highest rank of ''Luitenant-generaal'' in 1909 and became Commander of the KNIL in 1910, before retiring and repatriating in 1914. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gotfried Coenraad Ernst van Daalen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
