Transcription: [Page 1] thought he could get through but wished to remain with  party - that he should go alone carrying a few vital papers for the Meeting. He agreed reluctantly and Tuesday morning after final decision, applied for his own entry. Although carrying diplomatic visa he was then also refused. At midday on Tuesday the entire party set off for Geneva.                    On Monday Lester sent telegram to Phelan warning him of difficulties and urging him to do all possible that meeting should be held. This was repeated from Geneva this morning (Wednesday). Jacklin also took  prompt action to facilitate the meeting financially.         (Secret: On Tuesday morning the Norwegian Legation (Vichy)  passed over frontier and Lester gve Berg a paper for  Phelan incorporating Secretary-General's proposals to  Commision for approval.)        Holma passed frontier Sunday afternoon ostensibly on holiday visit but obviously nervous of association.         No news yet of Costa du Rels.        Lester had anticipated delays and possibly indignity but no flat refusal. He waited patiently at frontier until the joint requests Guerrero and Lester had been pushed to ultimate point and final refusal received from Madrid through Governor. Frontier official behaved correctly and understand he was rebuked because he had  given details and date of his order, being told he should  merely have refused entry without explanation.  [Page 2]        We kicked our heels for 48 hours like a  batch of refugees as I was determined to exer- cise patience and to push the protest to the limit, accepting in almost any circumstance the passage as our objective was so important. We had time to make the acquaintance of both  the Spanish and French officials; the latter,  although we had already officially left France reasonably allowed us to go back a few hundred yards to live in a somewhat dirty little hotel inn in the village. When we got there about 8 o' -  clock and asked for dinner, the question of  bread cards was raised but a slightly inebriated  French businessman returning to New York with his wife, flung a batch of coupons to the  waitress saying that he had waited for five days for his visas to be checked and was off the next morning. We were quite grateful and more than grateful for the food which followed. The meals during our time in France were in- comparably poorer than one usually expected; thy were just barely adequate; even in a good  restaurant or two where we stopped on the jour- ney, the hors-d'oeuvre, for example, usually so well done, consisted of some chopped beet and tomatoes; there were also of course res- trictions on quantities and the number of dishes. In the little village of Le Perthus there was even a difficulty about fruit; half the street was in Spain and apparently usually  supplied the fruit, but an embargo had been  placed on this trade the previous week. Not  once did we get any milk or sugar, or even BREAD for breakfast and only once during the five days  absence did I see a small pat of butter; break- fast usually consisted of unsweetened and un- milked coffee without bread. The sanitary  arrangements in the hotel left something to be desired.       During our watch on the frontier, nobody passed but a few officials and two or three  diplomatic cars; amongst them was that of Holma and his wife but he heard there was  trouble and carefully avoided any association saying he would wait for us in Barcelona.

Protect and bless them in the fight,  All souls are Thine, in death and life.  Oh, hear us, as we cry to Thee,  For all who may in peril be.  Almighty Father, shield our Hand, Our Soldiers march across the land. In racing and for honour's prize. And nerv'd to faceour valiant foes. Oh, hear us, as we cry to Thee, For all who may in battle be. Dear Father, bless the hardened heart,  Whose homeward journey we must start. Defend the right, and grant us grace,  Forgive our wrong, and give us peace. Then, save us, shall we rise to Thee, Glad streams of praise from land and sea.  (right side of page) When a nation in arms, with its banners unfurled, Shall rise to the fight, for the right, while the world Shall witness its might, and its cause shall be true, And Heaven will see you through.

Description: Avisartikel fra 1936 omhandlende Peter Frederiksen samt et brev hjem til hans mor fra Frankrig den 23. januar 1919 på Røde Kors brevpapir. || Peter Frederiksen blev født den 2. januar 1896 i Herskind i Østjylland. Han udvandrede i 1913 som 17-årig til Kasson, Minnesota, i USA. Han deltog på amerikansk side i 1. Verdenskrig fra juni 1918 og frem til krigens afslutning. Han kæmpede ved Vestfronten i Frankrig, og den 2. november 1918, under et engreb på tyske stillinger, blev han såret i højre ben af fjendtlig ild. Han måtte derefter indlægges på lazaret i flere måneder. Slaget den 2. november 1918, hvor han og hans division stormede en større by, havde store tabstal til følge. Han blev for sin indsats i 1. Verdenskrig tildelt flere udmærkelser, bl.a. to guldbånd samt purpurhjertet (Purple Heart). Purpurhjertet er en amerikansk militær udmærkelse, der uddeles til dem, som er blevet skadet eller dræbt i militær tjeneste. Peter Frederiksen drev efter krigen en farm ved Kasson, blev gift og fik fire børn. I 1936 blev han indlagt på hospitalet i Rochester med blidtarmsbetændelse, som han blev opereret for. Mens han lå på hospital fik han lungebetændelse, og dette viste sig at være dødeligt. Peter Frederiksen døde som 40-årig, og fik en militær begravelse på Evergreen kirkegård i Mantorville, Minnesota.
