Norman Harrison
British Army 1st Btn Tyneside Scottish Black Watch
from:Harmby, N. Yorkshire
Norman Harrison served in the 1st Battalion (Tyneside Scottish) Black Watch regiment during WWII. He was from Harmby in North Yorkshire. Norman was in Iceland in about 1940 as I have a picture of him on a bren gun carrier with the logo of a polar bear on the back, the information I found was that they "were reprieved of their post in Iceland and became a major part at the the forefront of the Normandy landings". I would love to find a photo or any information about him or friends. He was wounded by shrapnel in Holland in 1944 and that is about as much as I know unfortunately.
