Ex gratia-arkivet:
Registernummer under krigen: Londonnummer 2367. NY. 10489.
Reiste hjem til Norge med M/S STELLA POLARIS med ankomst Trondheim 2.oktober 1945.
Nortrashipflåtens Skyttere 1941 til 1946:
Skytter nr. 2063.
Var smører ombord på M/T ASTRELL som ble senket 5.11.1942. Antatt i Den norske marine og utdannet til skytter i Lunenburg, Canada. Han tjenestegjorde blant annet på M/S ELIN K - og var med da dette skipet ble senket i et stort konvoislag den 17. mars 1943. Konvoi HE 122 på 60 skip gikk fra New York den 5. mars. På grunn av dårlig vær gikk det sakte framover. Den 8. mars avgikk en ny konvoi, HX 229 på 40 skip. Sistnevnte var den hurtigste, og ettersom de fulgte samme rute, kom de så nær hverandre at de stort sett dannet en konvoi. Det tyske etterretningsvesen hadde lokalisert konvoien den 13. mars, og 40 ubåter ble satt inn i angrepet. Slaget gikk selvsagt i tyskernes favør, idet 21 skip ble senket, mot 1 ubåt.

Medals (3)
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
