Fonds consists of material relating to Emil George Berg, known as George, including his military career and his death. Fonds contains four series: History, Military, Correspondence, and Newspaper clippings.

Series contains records relating to Emil George Berg's military experience during the First World War, including notification of his medal and his discharge certificate, as well as correspondence written to Ida Berg during the Second World War. Also includes a print of a photograph from Camp Hughes, Manitoba, in 1916 and a photograph of George mounted on a larger background that has the words "For King and Empire" and "United Empire" on it around the Union Jack and Canadian flag. A header, which has been cut off from its original place, includes his name, battalion, and enlistment place and date.

File contains correspondence from George to his wife Ida and to his son Ingval, all written in Norwegian. The item that has "Taken from a German prisoner" on the back was likely not written by George, and it is unknown how it arrived in his possession.
