[The war invalid laws of 1920 on support for disabled soldiers and their surviving relatives in the provinces of southern Jutland, and the disabled soldiers' board of Sønderborg].

After the reunion between Denmark and Southern Jutland in 1920, the Danish state took over the obligations towards disabled soldiers and surviving relatives to dead soldiers from this province, serving in the German army during World War I. In 1920, the regulations were fixed by law, giving rise to Invalide-noevnet (disabled soldiers' board) in Sonderborg. The board dealt with altogether 6400 applications for invalidity pension and 4000 applications from surviving relatives. In Sonderborg an institution for disabled soldiers (Krigsinvalideskolen) was founded, including a hospital department and workshops for training and rehabilitation as well as production of bandages. A survey is given of these activities. The author next uncovers the story behind one of 9 names on a war memorial tablet, representing soldiers from the parish of Lebol, Sydals, who died in German war service during World War I. The medical record for this dead soldier is given and the family's fruitless efforts for 18 years to obtain pension are reported in details.
