The Faeroes Island Group in the Wartime Context
A travel style note explains the Faroe Islands once Danish, then British occupation to block Hitler, detailing 21 islands including Stromo Kuno Videro and Sando. It covers area 541 sq miles, population about 25 000, main income from fishing with cod seasons south of Iceland and east of Iceland. It notes Norse and possible Irish settlement, sod roofs, a deserted village on Kuno, and a lone family on Stora Dimon, ending with a request for a free leaflet copy.
