Good morning, I've done a bunch of research for this particular topic and have almost next to no success getting a satisfactory answer. I even asked Chat GPT and i feel the information given needs to be taken with a grain of salt, hence why i'm coming on here to ask. Would soldiers that served in the Norwegian Army between 1899-1905 be given any awards, medals, honors for their service? As many already know I've asked alot about my great grandpa Olav Knutsson Rysstad (1877-1924) I was kindly given one of his service records by archives i believe. It mentioned his service # and recorded the time he served and where he was from. We know her was part of the Kristiansandske Infantry Brigade and also that he was a Private. Did soldiers at this time in Norway's history get awarded for serving? I have also read some soldiers got recognition for certain skills as well like marksmanship, etc. If this was in fact a thing, where can this information be found? However, if nothing like a service badge or medals were awarded in this era, then that closes that door. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Good afternoon, I'm looking for information for a few relatives. I know from previous topics i've created on this website that my great grandpa Olav K. Rysstad (1877-1924) along with his younger brother Olav K. Rysstad (1879-1962) both served in the Norwegian Military in the early 1900s. However, I'm curious if there are any records of the following: Did Olav K. Rysstad (1877-1924) ever volunteer in World War 1? My only doubt about this is that by the start of the First World War he already had 3 young children and was involved in politics. So chances are no. But any confirmation would be great. Did Olav K. Rysstad (1879-1962) ever volunteer in World War 1, and if not, did he contribute to the efforts against the Resistance during the Nazi occupation in Norway? Also did his son Knut Olsson Rysstad (born in March 10th 1916) serve in the military, or volunteer in First World War 1 or aid in the Resistance during the Nazi occupation in Norway? I haven't been able to find this data if it even exists? One last thing, do the records mention any form of awards given to the men that served in the military? Thank you for your help!

Good Afternoon, I have a couple question regarding the Norwegian Military back in the day (late 1800s, early 1900s)

Hello, Does anybody know or have any information about what the difference would be between the light blue uniforms and the dark blue uniforms for the Norwegian army during 1890 to 1905? The first photo would be the light blue one (Private) second photo the dark uniform (I'm guessing it's a Private also) third photo shows both the light and dark together. (the guy on the left is my great uncle & the guy on the right is my great grandpa) I know they both joined the regular army as Privates (Menig) , one on 1899 and the other on 1901. They would have joined the Kristiansand Infantry Brigade , 16 Company. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. There is not much info on the internet that i could find regarding this topic. I live in Canada and not much about norwegian culture and history is accessible here which is very annoying. Thanks

Hello everyone, I was able to get some military records for my family. Could anybody tell me what is being said about Olav Knutson Rysstad (born: 1877) The only things I can make out is that his service # is 5556 & his parents were Knut Tarjeisson Helle & Ashild Bjugsdatter
