The following is a list of the Norwegians who served in the Texas Militia, Texas State Troops (TST), or other local defense military organizations. These were mostly small units which were in the field for a limited time only. This is just a survey - a more detailed roster will follow in a later edition. Those marked with * saw subsequent Confederate service. (All privates except otherwise noted.)
