Thanks to Bryn, I now have a photo. This led to the creation of this site. Click here to see the newspaper photo of Norman plus other information received from Bryn about Norman's death. Not recommended for children. |

This site is dedicated to the Memory of Norman Henry Sohier, my great uncle, who was killed in action during World War 1 (WWI) at Gallipoli, Turkey on July 13, 1915. He was 19 years of age. |
