    Fra Jackie Maher e-mail:

    My father's name is spelt in the traditional Irish way but he usually used Denis Maher. He was Irish but had a British's Seaman's Card. I have attached a copy of his Seaman's Card for your reference and a copy of his Sjømannskontoret which shows him working on the Helgøy.

      He was a very proud Irishman who went on to work for Ditlev Simonsen until 1961. He was fluent in Norwegian, married a Norwegian (my Mum) and they both immigrated to Australia.   It was many years before he claimed his medals for WWII. They are listed on the attached letter.
