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
