Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway, the country's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Glass cabinet displaying military uniforms from the Allied forces of Norway and the United Kingdom, and other exhibits:
    • Royal standards for Crown Prince Olaf (1903–1991) and King Haakon VII of Norway (1873–1957) when they, along with the Norwegian government, were in exile in England during the German occupation of the country. The Norwegian Royal Standard was introduced in 1905, featuring a Norwegian lion (royal lion with crown and axe) on a red background. The Crown Prince's flag was introduced in 1925, sharing the same design but with a swallowtail (v-shaped cut).
    • Large, framed portrait of King Haakon VII (1873–1957) dressed in full dress uniform as an admiral in the Royal Norwegian Navy.
    • Uniform for an officer in the Norwegian Army at the beginning of the war, worn by a military medical doctor. Norwegian Army (Norwegian: Hæren) officer's "mountain-grey" (fjellgrå) service uniform M1934 used in 1940 during the German invasion of Norway in World War II:
      • Kepi, a peaked cap with a stiff, cylindrical top, with sergeant insignia in the form of narrow green bands around the headband and a tricolour national cockade/rosette and gold Norwegian lion-and-axe motif (coat of arms of Norway)
      • Tunic with closed standing fall-down collar, buttoned front, four external (outer, patch) breast and waist pockets with pleats and buttoned, scalloped flaps, pointed sleeve cuffs, green piping edging cuffs and collar, and buttons decorated with the Norwegian lion.
      • Trousers with wide green stripes (lampasses)
      • Brown leather belt with cross strap over right shoulder (Sam Browne-belt)
      • Armband (brassard) with red cross symbol on the left uppersrm
Norwegian Army Uniforms c. 1914 – 1940 according to Hærens uniformer i vårt århundrede by Knut Erik Strøm (Oslo, 1996):
In 1914 the new 'mountain-grey' (fjellgrå) uniform with red piping were standard for all troops. (...) In 1934 there came a new version without red piping for privates, while officers and n.c.o.s had green piping on the tunic and double green stripes on the trousers. The private's pockets got pleates, and the tunic had oxidized buttons showing both in front and on the pocket flaps.
When the army was rebuilt in exile from 1940, there were some confusion regarding insignia and other details. The Norwegian army wore British pattern battledress. The service-dress was either a modified British tunic without shoulder straps, or a tunic with pockets like the Norwegian 1934-pattern tunic. Rank insignia, cap badges etc. were of the Norwegian pre-war type, and officer's rank insignia were worn on the collar both on the tunic and on the battledress.
