Ole Bechgaard was born in Sweden in a Danish family. He emigrated to British East Africa in the late 1920s, and later studied at the University of Edinburgh. He volunteered for the Royal Air Force, but was killed in October 1943.
LAC Mylius E. U. Christensen served as a guard and later as a cook in the Royal Australian Air Force. He was born in Copenhagen, but arrived in Australia as a seaman in 1925. The information available seems to indicate that he was naturalised in Australia after the war and, thus, Danish subject at enlistment.
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.
Sgt Wagn Eskelund served in the Fifth Air Force in the Pacific for two years. He was born in Copenhagen in 1915 but grew up in Virginia, USA. He enlisted in the USAAF in April 1943.
