Other information
Norman Rowe was a butcher and farmer on the family farm. He was repeatedly followed on his way to the OB by some curious Gypsies from a local camp. After a few occasions he set a small, timed, explosive charge to go off behind him and deter them. He was not followed again.
Hensford Farm was burnt out in 1949 though all the family were safe.
He received the Defence Medal.
