2nd Lt. Norman Lindley Watt (d.27th July 1917) Norman Lindley Watt was a Rhodes Scholar at Pembroke College, Oxford, as was his younger brother Bill. He was born in the Orange Free State at the town of Lindley. Their father, an Irish doctor, had been a Boer Medical Officer in the Boer War, including the siege of Ladysmith. Medical officers were non-combatant but he had been captured by the British.
Norman Watt, like many Southern Hemisphere soldiers, joined King Edward's Horse, and then later transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, as did his brother. Norman was killed in July 1917; he is remembered by inscriptions in Rhodes Hall and in St. Columba's church in Oxford. Bill survived the War although he was badly wounded. Many mementoes of Norman Watt have been kept by his sister, Fay and her family.
