Before the 7th Chess Olympiad of 1937 in Stockholm, a 2 round 10 board match was arranged between Netherlands and England around 17-18 of May 1937. Euwe had expressed his pleasant surprise about the veteran's H. E. Atkins participation [Haagsche courant 03.04.1937].

I think only a Winter - Euwe game had survived and the following beautiful position from an Atkins - Prins game. At least these are what I've tracked...

Thanks for posting the link. I don't have databases, but I am sure that there are some games there that can't be found elsewhere. There is a pgn file of the match on britbase I think.
