Både Knut O. Bringedal og Trygve Bertin Tobiassen står oppført som skipsfører på M/S GEISHA i perioden 21. juli 1945 til 9. august 1945. Det gis ingen detaljer om mønstringene i Ex gratia-arkivet. Det sannsynlige er at Bringedal var vikar i denne perioden, men dette kan ikke bekreftes.

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
