Alf J.Jørgensen skriver i sitt kravskjema at han ble sprengt overbord fra "Sørholt" ved torpederingen. Han fikk skader i hodet, utslåtte tenner, og ryggskader. Etter opphold i flåte og livbåt ble han innlagt på sykehus i Port of Spain, Trinidad. Derfra ble han i oktober samme år sendt med troppetransporter til New Orleans, La, og stilte seg på tørn i New York etter å ha blitt noenlunde arbeidsdyktig. Men på grunn av ryggskadene ble det besluttet at han skulle ta videreutdanning og søkte seg inn på radioskolen.

    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
