Publikumshenvendelse:
"Sidney var på akterdekket da torpedoen traff Italia [15. juni 1940], og han hoppa over bord. Han var en svært dyktig svømmer, og han fortalte flere ganger hvordan han svømte under vann for å unngå flammene. Men det verste, og det hadde han stadig mareritt om, var at han måtte slippe en unggutt som han hadde svømt med på skuldrene. Strabasene blei for store.
Den andre gangen han var om bord på et skip som blei torpedert, [...] var det trulig med et amerikansk skip.
Etter krigen fortsatte Sidney å seile, og når han var heime fra sjøen, budde han i barndomsheimen med foreldrene sine. Da de døde, overtok han huset etter dem".

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
