Ex gratia-arkivet:
Registernummer under krigen: London 10119, NY 26389.
12. juni 1945 til Norge med hvalkokeri SIR JAMES CLARK ROSS.
"Sjømann, krigsseiler, uteligger og byoriginal", s. 2:
"I løpet av krigsårene seilte han utenriks med 16 ulike norske skip og hadde en samlet fartstid på mer enn 21 måneder. Senere var det ikke helt ukjent i byen [Kristiansand] at Sverre "Svarten" hadde vært krigsseiler, men det er tvilsomt om han noen gang fikk den anerkjennelse han fortjente for sin betydelige innsats".
Artikkelen er gjort tilgjengelig under "dokumenter".

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
