Picture was probably taken sometime during 1904-1910.

By 1904, most of Aceh was under Dutch control, and had an indigenous government that "cooperated" with the colonial state. Colonial influence in the remote highland areas of Aceh was never substantial, however, and limited guerrilla resistance remained. Led mostly by the religious ulema, intermittent fighting continued until about 1910, and parts of the province were still not "pacified".
Thanks for this information. I thought dating the war would be an easy thing but there seems to be a great deal of differing opinions at the time about when it actually ended. I am trying to come up with a better way to express this. Also thank you for the name to go with the picture. I will add tho the list of things to correct on the page

It may be a router your way as I have not heard of others having problems or it could have been a trasient problem on my server. Let me know if it continues and I will mail you a hard copy as I would really like your input
