I am searching for information about one of the Magazines that the British army published during the occupation of the Faroe Islands. The magazine is called "Fan-Faroe, The Faroe Islands Force Magazine" I don't know when No. 1 was issued, but: No. 2 in May 1942 No. 3 in November 1942 No. 4 on Ólavsøka 1943 (this means late July 1943, as Ólavsøka is on 28th-29th of July every year) No. 5 at Christmas 1943 The editorial of the 5th issue states that it brings Volume I to closure and that "Volume II will commence a new era and the magazine will be conducted on rather different lines." I've been trying to search on the Internet, but I can't find anything. I've been reading the magazines, and am about to write a paper on the (university assignment) - any help I can get, any ideas on where or how to search further is most welcome.

I read you celebrate St Olaf very well every year. Cheers Geoff
I may be able to help you if you are still interested. Welcome to the forum RadarArray. He has not been back for a while so better to contact him with a PM. Let us know the result. I would be interested as I have an RAAF lad buried there after a crash on 9th November 1942. I am looking for photos of the headstones from Midvaag cemetery for my project and possibly some further details on the crash. Cheers Geoff
In Miðvágur (Midvag) a ww2 museum has opened. KrÃgssavnið Unfortunately only on Faroese, I believe.
