I am trying to find military records for Han Hansen Jaeger (1702-1737).
In Hans' burial record "Soldat" appears, and his surname of Jaeger also suggests he was in the military.
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070316610156 (bottom page)

His years from about 1714 to 1724 are unaccounted for. He began working as a miner, at age 22, in 1724. This approx. ten year period is believed to be when military service happened

His father was Hans Sebjornsen Stavlum a melter at the Solverk in Kongsberg who also at times may have been known as Hans Jeger or Jaeger. Stavlum is in Fiskum, Ovre Eiker.
