This monument commemorates the Battle of the Java Sea on 27 February 1942, in which 918 Dutch sailors were killed.

The names of the 915 missing are on fifteen bronze plates on the back of the monument.

Only three casualties of the Battle of the Java Sea actually rest at the Karel Doormanhof section on Kembang Kuning.
