Våre falne:

«Hadde vært på hvalfangst og var kommet tilbake til Nord-Afrika da Frankrike brøt sammen. Ble sendt hjem til Norge av tyskerne, og hadde en tid arbeid i Trøndelag. Forsøkte 25. august 1941 å komme over til England fra Ålesund, men skøyta han var med, ble borte underveis».

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
