Thanks so much Kristian.

On this website: m on picture # 12 (counting left to right on each row), there appears to be a war memorial. Can anyone translate the words in the years 1941 1945 and also across the bottom to me? Also I would like to know if one of the persons listed - EMIL HVAAL - is one of my ancestors from the S...
