Vaagso is mentioned as one of several qualifying special areas (1 day service only required) for the award of the 1939-45 Star. There were medals issued by Norway to foreigners during WW2 but I think they required a longer period of involvement.

When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
