Fra avisartikkel "Minner fra 1940":
"David Næss var 20 år da krigen brøt ut i 1940. Han var sjømann og ble med ett en av de mange krigsseilere som skulle få prøve krigens brutale hverdag. Etter krigen gikk han i land, ble snekker og arbeidet for flere av byens byggmestre. David Næss døde i 1983, 63 år gammel".
Attest 3. mars 1943 av maskinmester O. Ivarsen Moe:
"Herr David Næss har tjenestegjort ombord i M/T Glarona ifra 2. februar 1941 til 3. mars 1942 som smører. Han har i denne tiden vist sig som en pålitelig og vilig mann som jeg trygt kan anbefale til alle og enhver der måtte ha bruk for hans tjeneste".

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
