In a letter found at The Cranford Historical Society, Roger Norton’s father detailed the life of his son through to his death at Guadalcanal in the South Pacific. One note that he made was that he donated his son’s naval officer’s sword to the society. We found it wrapped carefully in their archives at The Hanson House on Centennial Ave.
The sword had incredible detail especially in the handle which seems to be made of coral with dolphins and eagles embossed on several places on the sword and scabbard.
