Gallery

The photographs on this page come from one photo album that was put together by ERA Richard Arnold Clarke.  Unfortunately, I didn't properly discover the album until after I had published my book so many of the photos are not featured in the book or if they are, they are poorer quality.  I have tried to break up the photos into categories to make them easier to understand.

Jørstadmoen

Photographs and postcards from the British Internment camp in Jørstadmoen.

Hjerkinn

Internees were given the option to work in Hjerkinn in 1916.  They were sent to work on the construction of the Dovrebanen railway.

Opdal

In 1918, internees were again given the opportunity to live outside of camp and work on the Dovrebanen railway.  This time they were sent to Opdal.  Arnold worked driving engines.

Fåberg

Fåberg was the closest town to the camp.  One newsworthy incident in the three years the British Internees were in town was when the bridge broke.
