Minnehallen i Stavern:
På reise fra New York til Alexandria med stykkgods og krigs materiell. M/S SILJESTAD ble torpedert 15. mai 1942 av tysk U156 (Korvettenkaitän Werner Hartenstein) i posisjon N 15 20 og W 52 40, omtrent 420 n. mil nord av Barbados. To mann druknet da de skulle gå fra borde. Gustav Ree Jonassen overlevde. 31 mann samlet seg i to livbåter. Ubåten kom opp, stilte spørsmål og oppga kurs til Barbados. Neste morgen ble de tatt opp av jugoslaviske "KUPA". Samme dag ble også "KUPA" torpedert, men samtlige om bord reddet seg i livbåtene og kom til land. Den ene på Barbados, den andre fra M/S SILJESTAD og båtene fra KUPA nådde henholdsvis Venezuela og Barbados etter 10 døgns seilas.

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
