It was in Kristiansand that the Danish navy searched port after the Battle of Heligoland. Here we got the 55 wounded sailors in treatment and buried the 18 sailors who died during the battle.
In the presence of both the Norwegian and Danish royal family that mark the close ties that remain between Norway and Denmark.
The Navy has since the Battle of Heligoland annually honored the fallen by placing a wreath at the memorial in Kristiansand, but a few years ago the Marine Guard took over the responsibillity for the annual commemoration in cooperation with Helgoland Guild on behalf of the Navy.
