JEMBATAN MERAH,SURABAYA

Transleted as THE RED BRIDGE.One of the most savage battles is Java history's was fought around here.The "Battle of Surabaya"began on 10 November 1945,less than three months after the proclamation of independence had been read in Jakarta and it was right here that Brigadier General Mallaby was killed.Further down the red Bridge is china town,an area packed with buildings of typical Chinese construction.It is still a crowded business and trade center.
