	A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Nanna Collett FODT 4-6-1917 DOD 17-2-1958”. The name of her sister Kathleen Collett (below) is also listed on the same headstone.

	It was as a result of Rolf’s work that the family lived in New York from 1950 to 1953, and this was followed by a year in Copenhagen. From 1959 to 1965 they lived in Washington, immediately following which they lived for the next two years in Geneva.
	In 1971 Kathleen and Rolf were divorced when Kathleen was living in Oslo and Rolf was ambassador to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) in Paris. Three years later Rolf died on 30.11.1974.

	By a strange coincidence on the very evening that Kathleen Collett would have been eighty-eight years old, her two sons and many other members of the Collett family from Norway and abroad were taking part in a Collett celebration at the home of Tom Oscar Collett (Ref. 24Q16) as part of the 2009 Collett Reunion in Oslo.
	A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Kathleen Collett FODT 22-8-1921 DOD 31-1-1984”. The name of her sister Nanna Collett (above) is also listed on the same headstone.

24P30	Alice Collett, who was known as Lisa, was born on 23.09.1913 and lived at Lewes in Sussex. In 1936 Alice married Doctor Arthur William Sclater who was born at Newick Park in Sussex on 11.11.1909 and with whom she had two sons. Arthur was the son of the Rev. Francis Sanderson Sclater and Hedda Beer of Oslo who brought him up to speak Norwegian.
	Alice’s and Arthur’s eldest son, John Richard Sclater was the managing director of the Nordic Bank in London, while the couple’s second son, Michael Victor Sclater was a film director at Lewes. Alice Sclater nee Collett died in May 2005.
	Arthur Sclater died on 02.06.2002 at the age of 92. During the Second World War Arthur was the commander and leader of The Shetland Bus service which sustained Norwegian resistance during the dark days of Nazi rule. This was the organisation through which the Special Operations Executive (SOE) supported saboteurs and other resistance operations in occupied Norway. It was the fact that he and his wife Alice both spoke fluent Norwegian that the two of them were sent to the Shetlands where, to protect their relations in Norway, they called themselves Mr and Mrs Rogers. Between them, the couple made both their home and the base at Scalloway a safe haven for Norwegian fisherman and others who were shuttling to and from Norway.
	Such were the risks that the couple were taking that Alice carried a loaded revolver so that she could shoot herself and her son John rather than be taken prisoner by the Germans. While Arthur was responsible for supervising every aspect of the sea crossings, Alice was responsible for the care of the passengers.
	The Norwegian fishermen who made countless crossings were incredibly vulnerable to attack from the Luftwaffe and German Navy and during the operation eight crews were lost. One boat, the Bergholm skippered by the renowned Leif Larson, had made fifty-six crossings up to 1943 when it was badly damaged by enemy aircraft. Undaunted, Leif rowed eight wound crewmen to Alesund where they hid for many weeks before being rescued.
	The loss of life was becoming so great that the operation was near to closure in 1943. However, following the involvement of President Roosevelt, three submarine chasers were dispatched to support Arthur Sclater and this transformed his operations. Overall, 400 tons of arms and equipment, together with agents, wireless operators, and others, were ferried to Norway, while some 350 Norwegian Resistance fighters were saved from arrest by the Gestapo.
	For his part in the Special Operations Executive, Arthur Sclater received King Haakon VII’s Liberty Cross and the US Medal of Freedom with bronze cross.
	Having been educated at Charterhouse, Arthur then attended Gonville and Caius at Cambridge, after which he worked in Brazil for the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Company. He returned to Europe in 1936 to be married, following which he worked in London in the wood-pulp business for Berner, Nicol & Company. After the war Arthur took over control of Berner Nicol.
	Around the same time he began restoration work on Newick Park, where he was born, and restructuring the estate which had become run-down. Supported by his wife Alice and his estate manager, Arthur made such a success of Newick Park that in 1968 he acquired the adjoining estate of Sutton Hall which increased his total land holding to 2,500 acres which was eventually taken over by his son John.
24P31	James Robert Collett was born on 24.08.1914. He married Wenche Elisabeth Reimers who was born on 23.05.1920. The marriage took place in the summer of 1941 and in March the following year the couple’s only child was born.
	Not long after they were married Jame, who was more commonly referred to as Robert, sailed from Gothenburg in Sweden to the United Kingdom with the intention of joining the allied forces against Germany.
	Tragically the ship in which he was travelling to England was sunk and James was drowned. Robert died sometime during November 1941, while his wife Wenche died on 31.05.1998.
	A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Robert Collett 1914 – 1941”. Also included on the same headstone are the details relating to his parents, these being “Arthur Collett 1879 – 1968” and “Ingeborg Collett F. Wedel Jarlsberg 1889 – 1951”.

24P33	Karen Harriet Collett (known as Kaja) was born on 07.05.1923. She married Herman Alethes Knudtzon of Oslo who was born on 15.12.1918. The marriage produced two sons and a daughter. The youngest son, Arthur Collett Knudtzon, settled in Fort Lauderdale in Florida with his wife Randi Hansen. Karen was divorced from Herman in 1974.
24P34	Martha Cathrine Collett (known as Cath) was born on 01.03.1916. She married Trygve Kristen Peter Mustad and they had three sons and a daughter. Trygve was born on 31.01.1914 and died on 11.07.1973.
24P35	Brita Lucie Collett of Oslo was born on 03.07.1917. She married Bernhard Cathrinus Paus a medical doctor of Oslo and they had four daughters and two sons. Bernhard was born on 09.11.1910 and is likely to be the brother of Vilhelm Paus who married Brita’s sister Gurli Collett below. Brita died on 28.06.1998 while Bernhard died on 09.02.1999.
	During her life Brita was a Norwegian humanitarian leader and founder of Fransiskushjelpen, a Catholic charitable organisation in Norway which she led from 1956 to 1993. Six years prior to this she converted to Catholicism in 1950, and served as a chair of the Laity Council of Catholic Diocese of Oslo, as a board member of Caritas in Norway from 1965, and a member of governmental committees.
	For her work in these areas Brita received many decorations, including Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, which she received from King Olav, the St. Halvard Medal which she received from the Mayor of Oslo, and The Paul Harris Medal from Rotary International.
	She also received decorations from the Pope in the Vatican, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Red Cross.
	Information relating to Brita and her mother Lucie (Ref. 24O14) has been kindly provided by her daughter Bente’s husband Kaare Knutson during 2007 and 2009.
24P36	Gurli Anne Margrethe Collett of Oslo was born on 07.12.1918. She married Vilhelm Christian Odegaard Paus and they had four daughters and a son but were later divorced.
