I'm looking for a photo of Captain Norton of the Natal Hussars.
Does anyone have a copy 'The Natal Carbineers' by Stalker as I believe their is a photo of him in there.

Many thanks
Justin

I have a copy of the 'Natal Carbineers'.

The name you mention does not appear in the list of illustrations, although I did look at all photographs inside (including group photographs) I still didn't see his name marked underneath any of them.

Justin, although you posted this query in September, 2005 I believe a photo of Captain Norton is found in the History of the Umvoti Mounted Rifles. I'm committing this from memory as I'm currently away from home and don't have my books at my fingure tips.

Trust this may help.

Cam.

Justin,

Capt P Norton (Natal Hussars) is mentioned on p35 of Goetzsche's 'The Offical Natal Mounted Rifles History'.

A Capt Derrick Norton MC is mentioned in 'Carbineers' by Hattersley (this chap fought in Abyssinia c1940).

Not checked out the forum for a while so nice to have some more posts to my question.

If when you get home Cam you find a pic of Norton could you email me a copy of it?

AMB 'The Offical Natal Mounted Rifles History' is a book I really need to get hold of

Thanks both for the info
