DOCUMENTED HISTORY

Bjørn Egge and the World Veterans Federation

Egge carried his experiences of war and captivity into international veterans’ and peace work.

An international role

Store norske leksikon records Egge as vice-president of the World Veterans Federation from 1991 and president from 1994 to 1997. In his memoir he describes being elected leader at the 1994 Bordeaux assembly (pp. 320–330).

Veterans and peace

The World Veterans Federation describes peace, rights and cooperation across borders as central to its work. This provides context for Egge’s role without attributing every organisational position to him.
