On his way through Jutland
Pilot Officer (Flight Engineer) Leslie N. Flower
(see also

got help from
Mrs. Gertrud Pedersen
and many other Danes.
Many years later he made her join the
Royal Air Forces Escaping Society
for 2803 Royal Air Forces aircrew
who were shot down during World War II
and either escaped from captivity or
evaded capture, and also for
people in occupied countries who assisted the airmen in their escape from the
enemy.
For many years RAFES sent
Christmas Greetings to
the members, and when the society was closed Mrs. Gertrud Pedersen was awarded a
citation
