I recently became aware of a photograph album my father had of his original return trip to Denmark in 1946. This album had never been seen by me before, and dad had forgotten it existed! He went back with a good friend of his (Fred), who is shown in several photo's.

I've therefore added some of the photographs onto this new page which is very relevant to the site, but also in the hope that someone in Denmark may be able to trace relatives of the people shown here (with their names if the photograph records that).

Copenhagen?
This photo looks like Copenhagen, based on the one visit that I have ever made in 2002. Does anyone recognise the street, or can throw any light on the gathering here?qqqq


Sgt Donald Jeffs

This photograph shows dad with a Mr Pedersen who was his host during his visit. It is thought Mr Pedersen was the local mayor at the time? In a recent book by the author Martyn Ford-Jones called 'Oxford's Own', Mr Pedersen is shown on the Litle Belt bridge with a caption saying he is my father!

Jørgen Pedersen
This photograph shows the Pedersen family, and is newly aquired from a new contact in Canada. My father lost contact with Mr Pedersen in the late 60's, so any of my Danish friends know what happened to them?

Enjoying the Belt

This shows my father wth his pal Fred on the Little Belt. Who is the gentleman rowing?

Danish Navy

These naval vessels are flying the Danish flag
. Presumably only a year earlier they would have carried a German one?
   
Danish Navy
The gentleman pictured here is thought to be the harbour master for Middelfart. If so he may be recorded somewhere, and therefore one of my Danish friends may be able to find his name, and any surviving relatives perhaps?
Also, is the litle boy in the background still with us as he may remeber this trip?
   
Danish Friends
These gentlemen were the ones my father has always remebered. The one on the right we believe to be Mr Pedersen of Middelfart, but my father cannot remember who the one on the left is. Can you help?
   
Danish Friends (2)
The two male escorts are dad and Fred, but who is the lady in the middle? It is believed she is the wife of Mr Pedersn, and that Mr Pedersen was taking the photograph.
   

Dad on the water
This is my father enjoying a boat trip. Sorry the photograph is a bit hazy as it was obviously taken into the sun.


Have you signed my guestbook? Please do so while you are here.
It takes just a couple of minutes but means a lot to me. Thanks.
