Londonregisteret:
Registernummer under krigen: London 3053, NY 666.
I Londonregisteret står det at han var mønstret på "Aus" fra 19. august 1940. Vi tror skipsnavn er feil og at det skal være "Aust".
Mønstringsdato på "Ranella" står i registeret som september 1941. Det stemmer ikke da skipet ble torpedert i juni 1941, vi mener det skal være 1940.

Medals (0)
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
