Registernummer under krigen: London 18702, NY 19267.
Nortrashipflåtens Skyttere 1941 til 1946:
Skytter nr. 32, Viste, Arne Jansen. Født 28. desember 1914.
Sønn av Jan Kristensen Viste, Randaberg.
Yrke: Sjømann.
M/T SOUTH AFRICA:
Var ombord da skipet ble torpedert den 8. juni 1942 ca. 700 n. mil øst av Trinidad. Ved angrepet ble 6 mann drept, mens de øvrige kom seg i to båter. Livbåtene ble oppservert av fire forskjellige skip som ville ta besetningen ombord, men dette ble avslått. På denne tiden herjet undervannsbåtene som verst, og man fant i mange tilfeller livbåten som et tryggere sted enn et skip.
Han er innehaver av Krigsmedaljen, Deltakermedaljen og Haakon den VII`s 70 års medalje.

Medals (3)
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
