D/S FANEFJELD var på reise fra Buldudal, Island, bestemt for Isafjord. D/S FANEFJELD sank 9. april 1942 uten å ha gitt livstegn fra seg. Om bord var 18 nordmenn, en brite, to kanadiere og en svenske som mannskap, dessuten los og en passasjer fra Island. 10. april 1942 fant man i Ørnundafjord en livbøye merket D/S FANEFJELD med et lik som ikke lot seg identifisere. Man hadde få holdepunkter til å kunne trekke en sikker konklusjon om årsaken til skipets undergang. Men etter undersøkelser gjensto krigsforlis som mulighet - flybombing eller minesprengning.
Sansynligvis torpedert den 9.april 1942 kl. 10.04 av tysk Ubåt U-252 ( Kapitänleutnant Kai Lerchen )

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
