ROYAL DANISH ARMY

Gert Laursen Denmark He says “I have pieced the order of battle together from several sources. Some of the data comes from accounts from officers, others from some papers I got from a friend in the army. And some from some books about the 9th of April. There are still some gaps regarding locations and officers which I hope to close in time.” Well, its a fine job, and I appreciate your letting me use this data.
