These are some photos that belonged to my grandfather Johannes Jansen. (My name is Janet White)
Johannes served in the No 2. Dutch Troop after escaping a work camp and becoming a part of the Dutch underground. Johannes Jansen is marked in the photos with a blue cross above his head and in the large group photo is the tallest person in the back of the photo.

Marvellous photographs - thank you. I especially like the last one - great!

Hi Janet,
Welcome to the CVA Website and Forum.
Thank you very much for the excellent photos.
Is your grandfather still with us?
Do you have any idea of the names of any of the others in the photos at all?

Photos now in the 2 troop 10 (IA) Commando gallery. Most are on the last page. The one of Johannes himself is listed by order of surname as with all individual photos. Here is a direct link to it http://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/10IA/Dutch/Johannes+Jansen.jpg.html
