The dutch soldiers didn't used the keris. Neither the Indonesian soldiers in the KNIL service. The klewang or the bajonet was the weapon when firearms weren't used. Keris or other weapons were not permitted to wear with the uniform.

Of course in the heat of the battle a weapon could be picked up for temporarily use.
