Våre falne:
Var donkeymann på d/s Christian Michelsen og omkom 26. september 1943 da skipet sank etter en eksplosjon i Middelhavet, på vei fra New York til Bizerta. Krigsmedaljen post mortem.
Minnehallen i Stavern skriver:
Var på reise fra New York til Bizerta med ammunisjon og krigsmateriell til styrkene i Nord-Afrika. Hun ble torpedert 26. september 1943 av tysk U-410 (Oberleutnant zur See Horst-Arno Fenski) i posisjon 80 n. mil vest av Bizerta. Skipet sprang praktisk talt i småbiter og forsvant i havet på mindre enn et minutt. Tre mann akterut klarte å hoppe i sjøen og ble reddet av eskortefartøy og brakt til sykehus i Bizerta. Hele 47 mann omkom.

Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
