African Norwegians, Danes Offer Services
(Received 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, April 25 Danish and Norwegian residents of East Africa have communicated to the Governor of Kenya a resolution declaring that they placed themselves completely at the disposal of the British Government and “begged to have the honour of serving His Majesty in all and any capacity in this war, on the same footing as His Majesty’s subjects.” “The resolution adds the suggestion that Norwegians and Danes because of their linguistic advantages and knowledge of the country, etc., would be most useful to the Allies if sent, in the first instance, on active service with the Allies to Norway, to serve with the Allied forces.
