Andre kilder:
I følge private kilder ble Erik Leonard Andersen, født Anderson, norsk statsborger den 11. september 1933.
De sammen kildene hevder også at han ble tildelt Krigsmedaljen for en hendelse mens båten han var på lå i havn i nord Afrika. Det var helg og begge engelskmennene som skulle betjene skytset ombord var gått på byen. Da ble båten angrepet av et mindre tysk fly som begynte og skyte. Erik Leonard Andersen grep inn og skjøt ned flyet.

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
