Son of Gustav Oscar Fuhrman and Helena Monaghan
"Mr. Oscar. T. Fuhrman Luck, of Zillmere, has been notified that his brother, Private. Norman Fuhrman has been officially reported as missing since 11th April. He enlisted at the outbreak of the war, joining the 15th battalion, was wounded at Gallipoli, rejoined on recovery, and after nine months on the peninsula, was invalided to Engiand for illness, from which, however, he quickly recovered, and with a short interval of rest, by reason of bronchitis, has been the whole time since in the trenches. Norman Fuhrman was the second son of Captain Fuhrman, who lost his life in the great pearling fleet disaster in the Torres Straits in 1899, and was also the youngest adopted son of H. Courtenay Luck, of Zillmere." - from the Brisbane Telegraph 15 May 1917 (nla.gov.au)
