Privat arkiv avgitt til Stiftelsen Arkivet:
Etter torpedering med M/S TUDOR 19. juni 1940, så mønstret han på M/S TAI YANG. Var på sistnevnte skip under resten av krigen og kom til Oslo 22. januar 1946.
Tallaksen var tømmermann, var flink med hendene og hadde en stor interesse av å bygge båtmodeller. Disse ga han bort, og det er dokumentert i en liste han skrev. En båt ble gitt til en basar i Sydney, hvor inntekten gikk til Kong Haakon VII's Fond. For utfyllende informasjon, se "dokumenter".
Han fikk leilighet på Det nasjonale sjømannshjem i Stavern etter krigen og bodde der til sin død i 1967.

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
