Guest Posted 11 September , 2013 Share Posted 11 September , 2013 Thank you for the photo of SS Norman. This was the ship that my grandfather Pte. 2524 Arnold Atkinson sailed on at the outbreak of WW1. As a regular serving with the 1/5th Northumberland Fusiliers he returned from India with the Battalion. Sailing from Southampton they were amongst the first of the British troops sent to Theatre of War (1) France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorbel Posted 9 September , 2014 Share Posted 9 September , 2014 An excellent page about Norman is [Broken link removed] . Great site, highly recommended. Norman's war time service isn't much covered, but I can tell you that she left Cape Town on 30th August 1917 in company with HMNZT Ulimaroa, HMAT Omrah and HMS Himalaya with ANZAC troops for Europe. Lovely ship incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
