DENMARK AFTER LIBERATION, 1945 - The memorial stone unveiled at the end of a ceremony in a forest clearing at Maarum, north of Copenhagen. The memorial commemorates Flight Lieutenant R H Thomas and Flying Officer G J Allin who died when their Mosquito aircraft crashed at the site in September 1944. The memorial commemorated these two airmen and the work of the Royal Air Force in dropping arms and equipment to Danish resistance fighters who operated from the nearby forest. The memorial was raised by donations from local villagers and former members of the Danish resistance Royal Air Force
