Våre falne:
«Var på M/S HERSTEIN, som ble angrepet av japanske fly i Rabaul, New Britain, satt i brann og helt ødelagt. Mannskapet ble tatt til fange av japanerne og senere sendt av sted med s/s MONTEVIDEO MARU. Omkom 10. juli 1942 da skipet ble senket i Stillehavet, på vei til Japan».
Den faktiske datoen for senkingen av MONTEVIDEO MARU er 1. juli 1942 og ikke 10. juli 1942 som Våre falne opplyser.

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
