Norman James Carlyle

Norman served on HMNZS Gambia from his transfer from HMNZS Achilles, which would probably have been in 1943, until the end of the war. He was Stoker, 1st Class and is buried in the RSA Cemetery at Taupo, New Zealand, next to the flagpole.

In November 2017, his son Garry very kindly send the following images:
