Våre falne:
Var fyrbøter under krigen, men forlot den båt han var forhyret med. Ble derfor satt i fengsel, senere ansatt som fyrbøter på d/s Hektor. Da båten natt til 28. mars 1942 var på vei til Hamburg, ble en livbåt med 6 frivillige, blant dem Andersen, satt på vannet for å redde mannskapet på en dansk båt som var sunket etter eksplosjon. På grunn av sjøen kom livbåten bort i propellen, livbåten kantret og Andersen omkom.

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.
