Sjømannen ble innlagt på hospital i Bangkok da han avmønsrtet "Sarpen" i april 1941.
Etter friskmelding var ingen ledige båter i Bangkok og han ble bedt om å gå ombord i et hollands mudringsfartøy, "Nanking" som skulle seiles fra Australia til Java. På grunn av krigshandlinger var det umulig å komme seg fra Java og han ble tatt av japanerne 12.3.1942 og sendt til Bandung Kimahi internasjonale fangeleir. Deretter ble han overført til leir i Batavia, Java, og senere til Singapore til freden . Løslatt 21.august 1945.

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
