Jørgen Rønning seilte i utenriks fart under 2.verdenskrig som kombinert
styrmann/telegrafist og som 1.styrmann. Han mønstret til M/S BJØRKHAUG som 1.styrm.
10.07.1941. I juli 1943 befant dette skipet seg i Algiers havn hvor skipet lastet skrapjern etter
de italienske og tysker styrker, deriblandt mange landminer som skulle vært uskadeligjort.
Den 16.juli inntraff en voldsom eksplosjon i lasterommet som ødela skipet fullstendig. 9 av
besetningsmedlemmene ble drept, herav 4 nordmenn inkludert kapteinen. Det gikk også
voldsomt ut over dokkområdet og det nevnes at bortimot 1000 arabiske dokkarbeidere ble
drept.

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
