Våre falne:
Knut Martin Mæland ble liggende på sykehus i Reykjavik fra mai til desmber 1941 på grunn av skader han pådro seg ved "Taranger"'s" forlis. Han mønstret antagelig proforma ombord på "Nyholt" i januar 42, for å bli transportert til Amerika. Imidlertid ble "Nyholt" torpedert underveis den 17.januar 1942. Mæland ble reddet, men døde på hospital i Halifax av skadene han pådro seg.

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.
