Luis Mangår Pedersen var ombord M/S Hav når skipet ble minesprengt. Han ble reddet.

"M/S HAV hadde losset bygg i Suez fra Basra, og gikk derfra for Beirut 13. mai 1942. Bare en knapp time senere inntraff en voldsom eksplosjon midtskips, og en enorm vannmengde brøt inn over skipet. Hav var gått på en mine. En motormann i maskinen ble drept, og en ble funnet død i sjøen. Flere av besetningen ble såret. Slepebåter fikk trukket Hav mot land og landsatt vraket. Berging ble ikke ansett mulig, og senere på sommeren ble vraket herjet av seks branner som reduserte skipet til skrapjern. To mann omkom."

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
