Hey there, I'm Norman Harold Sigglekow's Great Nephew (on my mums side) - we are amazed to finally see a pic of Norman after my mums mum handed down the medal his family recieved when killed in gallipoli. We were wondering if you have any higher resolution pics of him, or any other pictures so we can hang his medal up on the wall above his picture. I have to say it's fantastic to see a face behind the medal.

Thanks,

Paul, Peter & Wendy Fleury

Sorry I don't think a higher resolution pic is available - this picture was loaded as part of the work done by Horowhenua's 'Adopt an ANZAC' project and looks like it was cut out of a larger picture. This group has done a tremendous job researching their material and finding photos has been a particular challenge.

Great that you now can see what he looked like!
