A photo of these brave men. Now that is a great picture and the follow up message very interesting. My Great Uncle was in the Wellington Rifle Brigade and killed on the very first day of the Somme battle. From Norsewood, Southern Hawkes Bay - - Private JOHN LEWIS TORKILSEN. - - I have never been able to locate a photograph of him. Born John Lewis Hansen but his Mother Jørgine Hansen died 10 days after his birth and he was taken in by family friends Maren and Ollie Torkildsen of Norsewood and raised as their son. I would love a picture for my tree. Robert Erin Hansen. On 15/08/2016 00:09, Joy wrote: > My Great-Grandfather, Henry Thomas Norton, was killed in the Battle of the Somme on the 15th September, 1916.
