Ex gratia-arkivet:
Petterson var registrert som norsk statsborger ved dødsfall 31. oktober 1943, dette bekreftes gjennom kravskjema for Ex gratia-utbetaling. Han må ha byttet under krigen, men det er fortsatt noe usikkerhet rundt borgerskap. På kravskjema står i et tilfelle "Svensk?".

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
