Bror til Ola Grande.
Våre falne:
Gikk i alliert fart og var på m/t Ranja som gikk fra Houston 9. mars 1942 og forsvant på vei til Halifax. Antas senket av u-båt 16. mars. Broren Ole omkom samme år
Minnehallen i Stavern:
"M/T RANJA forsvant sporløst på reise med 34 mann, full last olje fra Houston 9. mars 1942 bestemt for England via konvoihavnen Halifax. Senere viste tyske rapporter at tysk ubåt U-71 (Korvettenkapitän Walter Flachsenberg) torpederte et tankskip 17. mars 1942 i posisjon 39 N og 65 W. Alt tyder på at det er bare RANJA denne meldingen passer på".

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.
