| norwegian conscription |
| medic12965 | I have a conscription lottery ticket for military service and was hoping to email it someone so they could translate it to me and tell me if it means that my great grandfather actuaaly served in active duty.
I look forward to hearing from someone,

It doesn't prove that your great grandfather acctually served, but it tells that he has been found fit for service and is obliged to start his military service next year from the 1st of May. The names are a bit difficult to deccifer.
