Brev fra Johansen til Erik Bye 10. mars 1969:
"Jeg var en av dem som seilte ute under siste verdenskrig. Mønstret på i Oslo 22/9 1938, reiste til Antwerpen hvor båten lå. Den tilhørte C.T.Gogstad & Co. Oslo. Den seilte ikke på Norge og den stod jeg ombord i til den blev torpedert februar 1942, og hette M/S Leif. Jeg seilte så videre under krigen på skip under Nordstadskib, og var torpedert flere ganger til jeg da kom til Norge igjen med tomat båten M/S Dikto. Det var den 19/3 1946. Da var jeg 3 maskinist ombord".

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
