NRK:
«Den karismatiske Lars Andersen, med «Faen» som et slags kjælenavn, skal egenhendig ha skutt 7.000 hval i løpet av 55 år. Han var en av sin tids superstjerner, en myteomspunnet medieyndling som tjente seg steinrik i en periode hvor Norge dominerte en svært lukrativ næring».
Vestfoldarkivet:
For sesongen 1939/40 var han med Kosmos II ekspedisjonen som bestyrer/skytter på hvalfanger Kos XXIII.

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
