Han forteller:

Seilte under hele krigen fra september 1939 til Norge atter var fritt for tyskere. Hadde forskjellige opplevelser denne tiden, men var kun ute i en konvoy som ble stygt rasert i Nord-Atlanteren. Slapp heldig fra angrepet og kom inn til Liverpool med sukkerlast, som da var meget velkommen, etter et større luft bombardement hvor sukkerlageret var tilintetgjort. Fikk hederlig omtale av den engelske Rear Admiral (Commondore for konvoien), for manøvreringen og holdningen under angrepet.
Førte i 1944 en liten U.S. taubåt med slep i konvoi fra New York til Falmouth på 25 dager uten uhell.

    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
