Fra Våre Falne:
Var fører på D/S FJORD, som i desember 1938 kom ut i 10 dagers svær storm i Atlanterhavet, men ble ført i havn, trass i sterk slagside og brudd på rorledning og reserveledning. Tønder fikk da Lloyds medalje for godt sjømannsskap. Omkom 2. desember 1941 da skipet ble torpedert ca. 15. n. mil øst for Gibraltar, på reise fra Aguilas til britisk havn.

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.
