Karl Eivind Rosengren ble født i Odda, Hardanger 6. oktober 1910. Han seilte under hele 2. verdenskrig. Skipet, M/S Kongsgaard, ble torpedert i 1942. Rosengren var en av syv overlevende. Da han kom hjem og fikk seg jobb på en av danskebåtene, for å være nær sin unge hustru og nyfødte datter, ble båten minesprengt. Rosengren ble syk av dette og krigsopplevelsene, og helsen forverret seg med årene. Likevel gikk han på Oslo maskinistskole og i 1947 tok han I. klasse motormaskinisteksamen. Fra 1950-1965 jobbet Rosengren til sjøs.

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
