Trøndelag Krigsseilerforenings arkiv (omtale, Asbjørn Strand, november 1982):
Harald Hernes fra Kvenvær var mannskap ombord på Bergenskes skip VESTA - VAGE og CYGNUS i kystfart under hele krigen. "Han var en sjømann som holdt seg bare til ett rederi - en "rederiseiler" man sier tilsjøss. Han hadde tidligere drevet sin farsgård i Kvenvær, men solgte denne og bosatte seg i Bergen da han tok hyre i Bergenske. Rederiet han kom til å tjene resten av sitt liv. Hernes steg i gradene: kullemper, fyrbøter, donkeymann, til 3. maskinist. Stadig i fart langs vår lange kyst".

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
