Var 9. april ombord M/T Langanger, på vei til Trieste i Italia med olje. Båten skiftet rute og ble noen måneder senere tatt i arrest av franskmenn og skipet ble lenge i Bone i Algerie. 29. september 1941 hadde han og to andre nordmenn flyktet fra Bone til Alger. De flyktet igjen og kom seg i fartøy til øya Mallorca, Spania.

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
