Registernummer under krigen: 16793 London, NY 27931.
Ankom England 1.05.1942 fra Norge som flyktning.
Lokalavisen Grenda, 5.5.2020 (se artikkel under Dokumenter):
Avisartikkelen beskriver hvordan overfarten over Nordsjøen skjedde fram til redningen av et britisk marineskip, hvor de så ble ført inn til Kirkwall på Orknøyene. Bjarne Skaale og Anders Kirkhus gikk inn i det norske flyvåpenet, mens Jens Linga altså gjorde innsatsen sin i handelsflåten.

Medals (1)
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
