Våre falne:
Drev fiske til 1937. Dro til sjøs og mønstret som maskinist på m/s Oregon Express. Omkom 23. september 1943 da båten ble torpedert i Atlanterhavet, underveis fra Manchester via Halifax til New York.
I følge "Nortraships Flåte", bind 2, side 141:
Raporterer over radio at OREGON EXPRESS ble jaget av en tysk U- båt i posisjon 5155 N 3902 W kl. 1500, og at det samme gjentok seg tre timer senere lenger vest. I dette tilfelle har skipets store fart og årvåkne utkikk reddet det fra undergangen.

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
