Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: In May of 1994, four Monuments, each with similar inscriptions, were placed at Lunenburg, Chester, Liverpool and on the grounds of what was known as "Camp Norway" in Lunenburg.
In 1940-41 Norwegian whaler/catchers, sealing vessels and their crews ended up, in Lunenburg when Norway was occupied by the Germans. Well over 1000 Norwegians were trained at Camp Norway and many of their vessels were converted into armed freighters and naval vessels. The Monument is constructed of rough white granite. It stands ten feet high, the granite used is from Eide in Nordmore, Norway,.
ALT FOR NORGE 1940 - 1945 IN MEMORY OF ALL THE NORWEGIANS WHO ASSEMBLED IN LUNENBURG AFTER THE INVASION OF NORWAY AND TRAINED AT "CAMP NORWAY" FOR SERVICE IN THE LIBERATION OF THEIR HOMELAND |
