Hi, I'm from Norway, but used to live, in the UK, from 2004 til 2014. I'm doing some geneology, to do, with my Danish-born grandmothers relatives. And I've found out, that her grand-aunt, (and friend), Anna Nyholm's first husband, (Magnus Julius Henry Davidsen), was a 'house-father', ('husfader'), see atatchment, for many British officers, during World War I. (These British officers were 'interned' it seems. So I guess they were some type of 'war-prisoners', (even if Denmark was neutral, during this war). They may have been soldiers rescued from a sunken sub-marine, I guess). I was wondering, if Captain Eddis's relatives, have some funny stories, about my relative, (their Danish housefather), Magnus Davidsen. Also, I was wondering why these British officers, where put into this accomodation. Was it because they were some type of war-prisoners? What was the story behind this house-share, I was wondering. (Because I haven't been able to find anything about this, on Danish web-sites yet). Thanks in advance for any reply! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog internerte hm.jpg 252K
