Notes
Known locally as Tormod Iain Thormoid.
Note: Norman is the brother of Alexander Nicholson who died 28/03/1918. It is stated that one brother was in Portree School and the other was in the Nicolson Institute and when the 'latter' heard his brother had enlisted in the war, he came and enlisted also, resulting in the death of both brothers. John, their father, drowned (fishing). Norman was sent to Gallipoli and was on the peninsula until the evacuation at the end of 1916. From there he went to defend the Suez Canal. Nicholson retuned to France in April 1918, and took part in the Battle of the Marne where he was wounded at the attack on Beugneux Ridge at Senlis.
