Thorleiv Bugge Røhn (23 July 1881 – 20 September 1963) was a Norwegian Army officer, who as a gymnast was a member of the team that won the gold medal in the team competition at the 1906 Intercalated Games in Athens, Greece. Facing limited military career prospects in Norway, Røhn sought better fortunes abroad. Having been involved in a failed business venture in Cuba in 1907–1908, he joined the Belgian colonial army Force Publique in 1909. He served in the Belgian Congo until being ordered back into active Norwegian Army service in 1915. Having been a member of the Norwegian fascist party Nasjonal Samling, Røhn was convicted of treason in the Norwegian post-Second World War legal purge. Personal life He was born in Kristiania, Norway. His parents were Ole Thorstensen Røhn and Maren Elise Bugge, who were both teachers. In the years 1898 to 1900 he attended Aars og Voss' School, gaining his examen artium academic certification. His father died in 1899 and his mother in 1944. Two of his sisters were killed in a British bombing raid on Oslo in 1944. After retiring, Røhn moved to the village of Meldal, where he died in 1963. He never married. Military career Norway, 1903–09 In 1903 he graduated from the upper section of the Norwegian Military Academy. The same year he became a first lieutenant in the Kristiansandske Brigade. In the years 1905 to 1907 he attended the Norwegian Military College, but left the school three months before graduation, citing personal reasons. In his spare time, he held lectures on the subjects of defence, sports and shooting. Belgian Congo, 1909–15 In 1909 he entered the service of the Belgian colonial army Force Publique, living in Belgium and in the Belgian Congo. Initially serving as a first lieutenant, he advanced to the rank of Commandant before he was ordered by the Norwegian authorities to leave Belgian service in 1915. No longer supernumerary, due to the Norwegian Army needing more officers during the First World War, Røhn was instructed to resume his regular duties with the 5th Brigade from 1 July 1915. Røhn was one of 200-300 Norwegians who joined the Force Publique through its history, and one of 21 Norwegians to attain the rank of Commandant in the Belgian colonial army. Norway, 1915–40 He transferred to the Trondhjemske Brigade in 1915, and was promoted to the rank of captain on 11 August
