My question is: How would that have come about? For safety reasons, British servicemen would not be assigned just any random private housing, I guess.

Sadly I personally cannot answer your question other than to say I noted your words "they housed two commandos during the celebration." So did they stay just for one night of celebration after the parade, or for a period of time ? We would obviously welcome seeing the photos you mention so feel free to scan and add them as attachments to this message thread and include any additional detail you may know. We have as you may know photos in our gallery of the George Webb you mentioned and they can be viewed here http://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/3/webb/

Where was the information about 3 Commando from ?]]> https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5613/21068.page https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5613/21068.page GMT https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5613/21069.page https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5613/21069.page GMT Both men have a South Staffordshire Regiment cap badge. I believe that they were attached to 2nd Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division. The 1st Airborne Divison were deployed to Norway during Operation Doomsday, they were to oversee the surrender of German forces.

From what I read about operation Doomsday, this means that the pictures may have been taken a few weeks earlier (May'45) than I originally anticipated (June'45).

Perhaps as early as May 13th, when Crown Prince Olav arrived back in Oslo after five years in exile.
