We have a photo was taken at the primary school of Maarslet, or Mårslet, a village in Eastern Jutland (1919). This was right after World War I. Denmark remained neutral in the War, but was affected by bit economically. The boys wear mostly short pants or knee pants. Most of the boys are barefoot. The girls are probably also barefoot, but we can not see in the photograph. A few of the boys wear sailor suits. Several boys haves ties, but those who do not have buttoned their sdhirt collars. It is less clear what the girls are wearing, but they almost certainly are dresses. several of the girls wear pinfores. The clothing looks very similar to what children in Germany wore.
