"Krigsveteran på 96 år: For sent at hædre - de er alle døde", i TV 2/Fyn, 6. juni 2018:
"Evald Brinck er, så vidt vides, den sidste. Den eneste nulevende fynske sømand der 6. juni 1944 lå ud for kysten i Normandiet, og hjalp engelske tropper og deres udstyr i land. [...]
- Folk kalder os helte. Synes det var utroligt, hvad vi gjorde. Vi var fandeme ikke helte. D-dag var nok hård for de soldater, der skulle i land, men ikke for os andre. Det var meget værre at sejle konvoj i Nordatlanten, og hver eneste aften, når du lagde dig ikke køjen, så tænkte du på, om du blev torpederet af en tysk ubåd. Det var langt værre, siger Evald Brinck, 96-årige sydfynbo fra Troense".

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
