Add my storyBiography contributed by David Barlow
Flight Lieutenant Norman Henry Dick 277483 was formerly the A.D.C. to His Excellency the Governor of Queensland, Australia
He accidentally drowned near Mount Lavinia in Ceylon while attached to RAF HQ / RAAF Overseas Headquarters - during WW2 the Mount Lavinia hotel was used as a military hospital by the British Army.
"For a swim in the sea we could go five miles down the coast to Mount Lavinia, one of the many long stretches of unspoilt, sandy, palm fringed beaches. The sea was warm enough to bathe in all year round."
