På New York-kort står oppført mønstring på M/T Nyholt stilling messegutt påmønstret 5. september 1939 i Haugesund og avmønstret 22. august 1941 i Reykjavik. Dette stemmer imidlertid ikke overens med opplysninger i kravskjema og andre mønstringer. Det er valgt å føre inn i mønstringer kun mønstringsdatoer fra kravskjema og se bort fra New York-kort, da denne informasjonen ikke virker å være sikker.

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
