This website is dedicated those Danes who served in the armed forces of the British Empire, fighting in wars, campaigns and battles all over the world.

Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice, and are now burried very far from their country of birth, Denmark.

Purpose of the website:

I am a very keen collector of medals awarded to the Danish-born soldiers, sailors and airmen, who served with the Commonwealth forces. 

I enjoy researching the stories of the individuals behind the medals and feel that in so doing, I have helped to keep their memories alive.

This website is focussed on the database project, but you will find my collection of medals to Danes in the right column.
 

The Commonwealth Forces DATABASE:

I am hoping to cataloge the Danes who served in the Commonwealth forces. I was primarily compiling a database containing information on the 2.234 Danes who served in the British Army between 1945 and 1948, but I have included other periods as well.

The work on the database is an ongoing process. It's possible for the visitor to add entries to categories  visible in the database section. Please do not hesitate to do so.
 

The Danes in the Commonwealth Forces DATABASE is dedicated to a big inspiration and good friend of mine, Mr. Eric Vedsegaard (Served with 87th Airborne Field Regiment R.A.)
