Sjømann ikke nevnt i sjøforklaring til "Bra-Kar".
Privat arkiv:
Vinje fortalte at han ved siden av matros også var skytter på Oerlikon maskinkanon. Han ble ikke utdannet i marinens kurs for skyttere, men opplevde ved flere anledninger at øvrig mannskap ble instruert av noen som hadde skytterutdannelse for at de også skulle kunne betjene kanonen ved flyangrep. Vinje var blant disse som også fungerte som skytter.
Vinje mønstret på samme dag som BRA-KAR krigsforliste 3. mai 1941. Han avmønstret skipet 5. mai 1941.

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
