Ex gratia-arkivet:
Registernummer under krigen: London: 1971.
Våre falne:
"Var i utenriksfart da krigen brøt ut i Norge, og kom i alliert tjeneste. [...] Omkom 5. april 1941 i Swansea i England da han falt utfor kaien under mørklegningen og druknet".
Publikumshenvendelse:
På gravstein ved Danygraig Cemetery i Swansea, Wales, så er det ført dødsdato 1. april 1941. Dette er nok heller riktig dato sett i sammenheng med opplysning i London-kort om at Raanes var "savnet fra skipet 31.3.41".
Sources
RA/S-3545/G/Gg (feil fødselsdato i kravskjema. Riktig dato er 10. mai 1919).

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
