from:Scotland

(d.29th Jul 1944)

Norman Swanney was 24 when he died and is buried in the Tirana Park Memorial Cemetery,Albania. He is remembered on Special Memorial "E" his grave having since been lost.

Additional Information:

Norman Swanney was my uncle whom died during Operation Healing in Albania. He was one of four brothers born in Glasgow. Alexander, Norman, James, and John and also had one sister Margaret. I was born in 1960 and I am the son of Normans brother John Strachan Swanney. Normans medals and some photos of him were passed on to my father John, and I now keep them on the passing of my father in 1992 whom always recounted fond memories of his brother Norman. Unfortunately my father only gained information as to the location of the memorial for his brother in Tirana when he was already ill and we never had the chance to visit the memorial. It is my intention to visit Tirana soon and pay my respects.

Mr James swanney
