[#19068] Military, September 1877 to September 1880, Kristiansand, Norland

[Gjest Dick Norland]

I am looking for information on Albert Nilson Norland's military service. Albert lived near the Strand Parish, near Tau, Norway. He did his mandatory military service from September 1877 to September 1880. Can anyone tell me what unit he was in? Any other details on his service? Where in Kristiansand did the military have it's facilities? Mange takk.

What kind of military station was located at Kristiansand in the 1870's? Was there a fort or training base there? Was this a large facility or quite small? Was it located in the city or out in the countryside?
