Here's my translation (since i am not a native speaker, there might be small errors).
From our correspondent in Rotterdam
Hoek van Holland Thursday
Do you think two or 3 small children in the early morning is hard ?
Then look at the always happy face of Dad Kuhr (age between brackets), who evacuated from Indonesia with 28 children and this morning at 5.30AM at arrival upon Hoek van Holland said: "It was a beautiful journey. I couldn't imagine a better returntrip".
With the 28 children it was like this: 10 of them the former (occupation between brackets) from Medan can call his own, Except a daughter that goes to school in the Netherlands, he brought the other 9 with him on board.
Mr. Kuhr was the only grown man amongst the evacuated people on the British vessel "Name between accolades" that picked up 43 Dutch people in Singapore: Family Kuhr (11 people), 14 women together with 18 children.
Boogeyman
For that 14 broken families on board he was like a godfather and custodian, their shoulder to cry on and translator and a single ....... last line is not clear
Under the picture: Father Kuher with a "selection" of his children.
second column:
made a holidaytrip to Australia, when the ship iN Singapore the empty places on board filled with people to evacuate.
"We docked in Colombo, Aden, in Athens and Napoli and visited Marseille and Barcelona at our own expenses. We were in Gibraltar and Lissabon and went off board (debarked ?) wednesday in England.
We travelled by train to Harwich and the nightboat brought us to Hoek van Holland.
Translator (=tolk)
"My task as godfather started already in the port of Singapore when a woman, who could speak English, wanted to ask something to a crewmember. From that moment i had to take other peoples kids to the ship's doctor, i made telegrams, exchanged money, inventarized the wishes of the mothers and their children for winterclothing that was to be given out in the Napoli, and had to give a strict look at naughty kids"
I didn't fail !
I just found out 10,000 ways that didn't work.
