The only 'dispute' I know about on Hans island was the Whisky Dispute, which was resolved peacefully after years of soldiers 'claiming' the land by stealing each other's flags and leaving booze for each other. More like a very lazy game of capture the flag if you ask me.

Are these the armed raids you refer to?

Yes. The raids were mostly to not to forfeit their territorial claims, booze left as a sorry for the trouble gift.
