Now the soldier's croft in Kungsör will be saved for posterity: "Like a detective story"

Project manager Lars-Erik Käll calls it a "long-term project", and the municipality has shown interest in supporting the work.

The hope is that the project will lead to the public in the future to be able to access information about the crofts and the soldiers who lived in them via their mobile phones and QR codes that will be available at the crofts.

Something that already exists in more places in Sweden.

- First we will look at where the croft is somewhere.

Then there is easily accessible information about the soldiers in the war archive, says Lars-Erik Käll.

Soldiers were ancestors

They are ten people who are involved in researching the croft.

Some of them have soldiers as ancestors.

Lars-Erik Käll says that he feels that there are very few soldier crofts that are in a reasonably original condition.

Roof tiles may suffice

- It may be about 20 of the 90 crofts in Kungsör.

Some have been rebuilt or rebuilt into houses, but many are only a few stones left.

For example, I have found a piece of roof tile at a place and that may be enough to have found the right place for a soldier's croft, he says.

The initiative for the project comes from Västra Mälardalen's genealogists and Kungsörs hembygdsförening.
