Default Swedes in Allied Forces 1939-45
As a nation Sweden remained neutral during WW 2. The Swedes however did not.

Some 200 volunteerd for Germany but more than 9.000 joined the allies. The number of Swedish-Americans that served in the US armed forces are estimated to be some 200.000.

This picture: Valfrid Lundgren joined a supply unit in Red Deer, Alberta, 1943. He served as a motorcycle runner with Canadian 2nd Inf Div. Returned to Sweden in 1946.

Is there sombody that knows what the unit in Red Deer could have been?

ERROR. This is not Valfrid Lundgren but Hugo Lindskog! See post further down!
