Was he Norwegian? If so I might be able to steer you in the right direction.

Yes, he was born in Norway (1906) was a merchant captian during the war. His ship (?) was torpedoed in the Pacific.

Like I said in my response to Ole Kristian Valle's query further down this list, there are some addresses you can write to (or visit yourself if you live in any of the places listed). I have given this to several people, who have later written me back to tell me they've found exactly what they were looking for by writing to one (or more) of the archives listed on this web site: [www.mariners-l.freeserve.co.uk] (keep scrolling down until you find one that fits).
All you need is his name, and if you have his birthdate or any other relevant information, that would probably also help. I would like to know how you do with this, either by a posting to my forum, or by an e-mail directly to me.

Good luck!
