Ex gratia-arkivet:

Registernummer under krigen: London 35025, NY 18951.

 Våre falne:

Dro til sjøs før krigen, og skulle bli maskinist. Var motormann på m/s Tabor da skipet ble torpedert på reise fra Aden til Cape Town. Alle unntatt én kom i livbåtene. Under reise mot land kantret båten, og i den høye sjøen var det uråd å få lenset da den ble rettet opp igjen. Omkom 19. mars 1943, 10 dager etter forliset, av kulde og utmattelse før land var nådd.

    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
