Våre falne:
Var elektriker til sjøs da krigen brøt ut, og ble utsatt for torpedering utenfor svenskekysten i februar 1940. Omkom 23. oktober 1940 på d/s Prinsesse Ragnhild da skipet gikk ned etter en eksplosjon ved Hovden, litt nord for Bodø.
I bokverket står det at Larsen var passasjer på Prinsesse Ragnhild, men det er feil. Det riktige var at han var skipselektriker, slik som beskrevet i Minnehallen.

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.
