Våre falne:
"Seilte under krigen i alliert fart som motormann på m/s Herstein. Da skipet lå i Rabaul, New Britain, kom det i brann under et japansk flyangrep 20. januar 1942 og ble ødelagt. Han ble tatt til fange av japanerne og satt i fangenskap i Rabaul til han 1. juli s. å. ble ført ombord i fangetransportskipet s/s Montevideo Maru. Omkom 10. juli 1942 da skipet ble torpedert på vei til Japan. Ca. 1050. fanger omkom".
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.
