Didn't surf around the site, but I'm 99% sure my "guesses" are right............at least they fit.

It seems the middle (first?) name should be spelled Ingolf.

Also, is Ingolf Kvam hyphenated as Ingolf-Kvam or not? It's a rather uncommon name with origins that are difficult to trace (at least for me).

Having hopefully tracked down his son, it appears the family name is Kvam which the combat report says S I Kvam as opposed to S I-Kvam
