Military Question Concerning Records


Murray Rystead

Recommended Posts

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!

Would the two Olav brothers get any awards or honors for serving in peaceful times between 1899 to 1905?
The records I was given didn't say anything that I could see that would indicate that they were. 
Maybe those records didn't highlight such feets? But if there is another way to find out, I would appreciate the information.
Thanks

Their older brother Bjug Knutsson Rysstad (1873) moved to Saskatechewan, Canada, and for a time moved to one of the Dakotas.
I think sometime in the 1920s. Bjug applied to join in the World War 1 efforts. But i don't think they accepted him as he was a bit older.

Olav's Rysstad (1877-1924) his son Knut O. Rysstad (1909-1984) moved to Saskatechewan to be with his uncle Bjug. This Knut was my grandpa.
Knut joined the Canadian army in 1942 and served until 1946.

Norway stayed neutral during WWI:

Any volunteers would have to join the Allied forces abroad. Approx. 15 000 Norwegians volunteered in active service during WWI, most of them for the Allies.

Given the information provided about Olav K. Rysstad (1877-1924) and Olav K. Rysstad (1879-1962) I believe there is no chance that these gentlemen fought in WWI.
