M/T POLARSOL ble bombet i brann etter flyangrep 25. april 1941. Skipet ble forlatt, men mannskapet returnerte til skipet og det ble tauet.
Minnehallen i Stavern skriver:
M/T POLARSOL gikk i konvoi mellom Island og Scotland da hun 25/4 ble angrepet av tysk fly. Skipet ble truffet av en bombe som drepte fire mann og anrettet betydelig overbords skade. Det brøt ut brann i maskinrommet, men skipet holdt seg flytende. Besetningen gikk straks i gang med å få brannen under kontroll. En nederlandsk slepebåt kom til og tok tankbåten under slep. Fem dager senere fortøyde båten til verksted i Glasgow. Motormann Anker Larsen døde senere i sjøen 7. mai 1942.

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
