Blacksmith Niels Pedersen was dedicated a presentation of the Danish army service as he was a veteran and a brother in arms during the war in 1864. He was dedicated a gift in acknowledgement of the Danish commercial government because of his attendance in the war against Germany/Austria. Because of his participation in the war he was given to a certain amount of money every year for the rest of his life, which was 100,- Kr. (100,- Danish kroner which is approx. $15, 2003). In the action for South Jutland in 1864, Niels Pedersen got wounded in the right leg and approx 1910, he got his right leg amputated and the left too just before he died in 1918. The picture of Karen Marie Borresen & Niels Pedersen, sitting on the bench, has maybe been taken in 1914 –1916.
Som veteran og våbenbroder fra 1864 krigen blev smed Niels Pedersen tildelt følgende:
”Hædersgavebrev af 2/1 1914 fra Finansministeriet til Husmand Niels Pedersen, Magleby, der for deltagelse i Kampen for Fædrelandet i året 1864 tildeles livsvarig gave på kr. 100- om året.” I kampen for Sønderjylland i 1864, blev Niels Pedersen såret i højre ben, og omkring 1910 blev benet amputeret. Inden hans død i 1918 blev ligeledes venstre ben amputeret. Billedet af Karen Marie Børresen & Niels Pedersen er måske taget i anledning af 50 året for slaget på Dybbøl i 1864, eller i 1916, da de fejrede deres guldbryllup.
