   • 1881, Jacob Wallenberg, edited by Arvid Ahnfelt, Min son på galejan‎, page 229:

     Vårt lilla krigsmanshus i Vadstena talar om hvad vi ville, men röjer tillika huru litet vi kunna.

     Our little warmen's almshouse in Vadstena speaks of what we wanted, but also reveals how little we could.

     Många invalidiserade veteraner sökte sig till det gamla Birgittaklostret i Vadstena som var omgjort till krigsmanshus.

     Many invalided veterans went to the old Birgitta monastery in Vadstena, which had been converted into a warmen's almshouse.
