Captain Frank Pegram was commanding officer of ''Glasgow'' from July, 1939 to April, 1940. On the outbreak of war, she operated off the Scandinavian coast, and in November was off the coast of Norway with two destroyers in the hope of intercepting the German passenger ship SS ''Bremen'' which had sailed from Murmansk. This was unsuccessful, but on 12 February 1940, she captured the German trawler off Tromsø.〔(German steam trawlers off Norway in 1940 ) 〕 On 9 April, she was attacked off Bergen by Ju 88s and He 111s and damaged by near misses. On 11 April 1940, during the Allied campaign in Norway in World War II, ''Glasgow'', along with and six destroyers landed troops near Harstad and three days later on 14 April, again in company with ''Sheffield'' and ten destroyers, landed an advance force of Royal Marines at Namsos to seize and secure the wharves and approaches to the town, preparatory to the landing of a larger Allied force. On the 23rd ''Glasgow'', ''Sheffield'', and six destroyers landed the first part of the 15th Infantry Brigade in Åndalsnes.
On 29 April, she evacuated King Haakon and Crown Prince Olav of Norway, Nygaardsvold's Cabinet and part of the Norwegian gold reserves when they fled from Molde to Tromsø, escaping the advancing German forces.〔(Navy news )〕 She then departed to the United Kingdom on 1 May, carrying among others the Minister of Foreign Affairs Halvdan Koht and the Minister of Defence Birger Ljungberg.
