Med "TORRENS" var vi i troppetransport for U.S. Army i Stillehavet og vi var mange ganger under fiendlig angrep. Spesielt under kampene på Fillipinene.

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
