Rolf Jakob Farstad skrev til Direktoratet for sjømenn i 1972:
"1. mai 1940, ble M/S "Grimsøy", Ålesund, beordret av Norges bank om å gå med gullast fra Ålesund, nordover [Tromsø], for videre forsendelse. Skipper og reder var Hans Farstad, og jeg, Rolf Farstad, matros, dennes sønn. Imidlertid var der ombord for få ansatte, da avreisen foregikk i all hast. Det ble derfor liten eller ingen hvile og søvn for samtlige av mannskapet. Dertil befandt der seg til stadighet tyske fly over båten".
Arbeidet ved Nortraships havnebåtseksjon fra februar 1942 til august 1942.

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
