«Seilte i alliert fart på d/s Herstein. Da skipet lå i Rabaul i New Britain 20. januar 1942, ble byen angrepet av japanske fly. Skipet ble satt i brann, Landhaug ble såret under angrepet, og kom på sykehus hvor han lå til japanerne senere inntok byen. Da ble hele mannskapet arrestert og skulle føres i japansk fangenskap med et troppetransportskip som ble senket 1.juli 1942».

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
