English, translated from the Swedish record

Life on the terrace. Eating outside the expedition's house. Alfred Westholm (left) sits next to Erik Sjöqvist (right). Opposite them sits Stefan Gjerstad and next to him is probably his nanny Gudrun Atterman and his older brother Martin Gjerstad. Although their faces are not visible, probably Einar and Vivi Gjerstad sit on the left and John Lindros on the right. Machairas, Cyprus.

Swedish, as on the record

Livet på terrasen. Äter utanför expeditionens hus. Alfred Westholm (vänster) sitter bredvid Erik Sjöqvist (höger). Mitt emot dem sitter Stefan Gjerstad och bredvid honom är troligen hans barnflickan Gudrun Atterman och hans storebror Martin Gjerstad. Trots att deras ansikten inte syns, sitter troligen Einar och Vivi Gjerstad till vänster och John Lindros till höger. Macheras, Cypern, Svenska Cypernexpeditionen.
