Privat arkiv gitt til ARKIVET freds- og menneskerettighetssenter:
«[...] Binnie joined a South African ship Tafelberg, and served on her until 1941, when she was mined in the Bristol Channel. For the rest of World War II Binnie lived in London, working with Nortraship, the Norwegian Shipping and Trade Mission in the City. He rented rooms and was bombed out twice. At the end of hostilities he was repatriated to Norway, but the stress of war had taken its toll on him».

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.
