Thirteen issues (1942-1943) of "The Viking," a mimeographed newsletter containing information about events in camp and news from occupied Norway with cartoons by Claus Hoie, and a collection of clippings about the 99th. The Viking Battalion, as it was also called, was composed of "men of Norwegian extraction, Norwegian nationals, and Americanized Norwegians," and organized for particular missions during World War II.
