NEWS ITEM in
Jersey Evening Post of Tuesday 17 April 1917
Roll of Honour.
It is with deep regret we state that the
Casualty List issued this morning contains the name
of another gallant Jersey-Canadian Officer, Lieutenant
(acting Captain) Anquetil Philip Norman. This gallant
officer was 35 and was the son of the late Mr Francis
Norman of La Davisonnerie. He was educated at Victoria
College from 1893-99 and during the Boer War volunteered
and served with the Scottish Horse. At the cessation
of hostilities he returned to Jersey and afterwards
left for Canada and promptly joined the British Columbia
Detachment of the Canadian Expeditionary Force at the
outbreak of the present war. While serving in France
last June he was wounded and spent some time in his
native Island on sick leave. He later returned to the
Front and unfortunately made the supreme sacrifice at
Vimy on 9 April.
The deceased gallant officer leaves a widow and young
son, to whom, with the other relatives in Jersey, we
tender our heartfelt sympathy.
