Våre falne:
«Var motormann på m/s Tabor som på reise fra Port Said via Aden til Cape Town 9. mars 1943 ble torpedert og senere skutt i senk av tysk u-båt. Den livbåten Aronsen var i, kantret under en storm om formiddagen 19. mars på vei til Cape Agulhas. Den ble rettet opp, og alle kom seg ombord igjen, men i den svære sjøen var det umulig å få den lenset. Av dem som var i båten, døde ti mann av overanstrengelse og kulde i løpet av kvelden. Bare to nådde land dagen etter».

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
