Vi finner Knud Bjørn Einarsen som fører av engelsk skip s.s. Munlock i Hong Kong da japanerne erobret Kronkolonien 8.12.1941. Skipet ble senket i havnen av egen besetning. Einarsen ble arrestert og sendt til Yokohama og ble holdt i fangenskap inntil krigens slutt i august 1945. Han var da så avkreftet av sult og dårlig behandling at han ble sendt til hospital i USA med fly. Her ble han værende 6 måneder til behandling før han ble sendt til Norge.

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
