Anton George Jensen was born in Denmark, but emigrated to Australia in 1927. He volunteered for the Royal Australian Air Force in 1942 and served though the war as well as in the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces (BCOF) in Japan following V-J Day.
Jens Henning Gielstrup is working as reporter in London at the outbreak of the war. He volunteers for the Royal Air Force, but is killed in action on 23 August 1943.
During the Second World War an ambulance was donated to the Royal New Zealand Air Force by the Danish Association in New Zealand. A number of photographs in the collection of the Royal Danish Library document the event at which some of the Danish volunteers were present.
From early on the Danish volunteers in the RAF wanted to distinguish themselves as Danes in Allied service. One way of doing that was to wear a nationality shoulder title on the uniform.
