Birger Osland Appointed Captain (Editorial)
Svenska Kuriren, Jan. 3, 1918
p.11.......Last week we were informed that Birger Osland, of the firm Birger Osland & Co., Western General Agents of the Norwegian America S/S Line, had been appointed Captain of Infantry in the National Army, with orders to report for duty immediately.
Mr. Osland has been for many years well-known in this city, and is a member of several organizations, such as the Norwegia Club, the Swedish Club and others.
Our countryman, Sigurd H.Henning, who has been with said firm for about a year as Chief Clerk, before which time he was with the White Star Line's Office for fourteen years, will manage the firm during Mr. Osland's absence, a task for which he, considering his long experience in this particular field, is fully qualified.
