Anders Lassen Foundation, which has his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark as its protector, is named after Major Anders Lassen, who made a formidable contribution during the Second World War. The fund’s purpose is to reward noteworthy military achievements, make an economic contribution to previous members, or their families of the frogman or corps with exemplary service, to support and encourage wounded military personnel, to recognise those who have made a special humanitarian contribution and to create a better bond between the two corps in the spirit of Anders Lassen. |
