Pte. Harry Norman
British Army 3rd Btn. Suffolk Regiment
from:Great Barford, Bedfordshire
Harry Norman was my grandfather. He was invalided out due to an injury to his right arm, and I am on the understanding that the injury he sustained affected him mentally. Due to his state of mind, he was referred to a mental institution at Bury St. Edmonds infirmary. I never got to see him physically. That was probably due to his instability and not knowing how he would react to strangers. None of my aunts, uncles, or cousins has any photos of him. I would like to find a photo of him.
Pte. John William Norman
British Army 2nd/9th Btn. Manchester Regiment
(d.9th Oct 1917)
Having obtained the medal card for my great uncle John William Norman, it states that his medals were returned by his family. I can understand the bitterness of relatives as he was one of three of my relatives from the pit villages of County Durham, killed in WWI and whose bodies were not found. Their names are on the Tyne Cot and Thiepval memorials. God Bless them.

Pte. Tom Norris
British Army 2nd Btn. Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment
from:Heath Hayes, Staffordshire
Tom Norris was a miner in the Cannock coal fields in Staffordshire before joining the army in early 1915. He was posted to the 2nd Battalion, Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment and had arrived in France by early August. In September the 2nd Battalion was engaged in the Battle of Loos before being withdrawn to Alexandria in Egypt in October, and then to Salonika in January 1916. Tom seems to have been with the 2nd Battalion for the whole of his service and whilst he was with them in Salonika they played their part in a number of engagements or battles. We're not sure what roles Tom played in these events but in Spring 1918 he contracted malaria and by May 1918 his health had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer fit for war service.
We understand he was also subject to, but survived, a gas attack at some point, which had an impact on his lungs. As a result, he did not (or was not allowed to) return to mining after his discharge and moved to Birmingham in search of work. Tom survived the war but as a result of his military service he suffered pain and ill health for the remainder of his life. He was granted a war pension but died an early death in 1942.

Pte. A North

Volunteering in August 1914 he fought in many parts of the line. Owing to ill-health he returned to England and was discharged unfit in February 1916. He re-enlisted, however in the London Regiment and proceeded to the Western Front where he was in action in many engagement of note. In February 1917 he was killed by a sniper, and lies at rest at Ypres.
He was entitled to the 1914-15 star, and the general service and victory medals. Thinking that remembrance, though unspoken, may reach him where he sleeps.
