Fred Olde Olthof, now 92, is hoping to hear what happened to the Dutch men who arrived in New Zealand with him in 1949. Olde Olthof is crouching second from right in the front row of this photo taken in Christchurch in 1949.
Can you help? Is a new series where New Zealanders have the chance to come together to help find people. If you have a photo and want some help send it to reporter Louisa Steyl for consideration.
Serviceman Fred Olde Olthof was having a cup of tea in a canteen in Java when someone walked past asking if anyone was interested in going to New Zealand.
