Våre falne:
Seilte under krigen som fyrbøter på d/s Vestmanrød. Han forsvant 25. mai 1940 da skipet lå i Rouen. En antar at han har snublet i fortøyningstrossene på grunn av mørklegningen, falt utfor bryggekanten og druknet.

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
