Can anyone translate the word Vargeringskarl?
Thanks

This is a military term associated with the Allotment System. In wartime a military "rote" also had to recruit replacement soldiers or reserve soldiers, called "vargeringskarl". The system of keeping reserve soldiers was called “Vargering”. /Hans Högman
