Rogers var om bord D/S Lom da det ble utsatt for kraftige tyske flyangrep. Lom total forliste. Den direkte
årsak til Lom`s forlis var at de tyske flyene hadde truffet et ammunisjons skip. Dette sprang i lufta inne blant de tettpakkede oppankrede skipene på havna. Et skip med giftgass sprakk og slapp løs sin giftige last. Båter og flåter fra over 17 skip kjempet seg til land gjennom flammer og dødbringende luft. To mann fra LOM døde om bord og en døde på sykehus 16. desember 1943. Rogers overlevde.

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.
