Norman Brookman

Harry Norman Brookman (22 January 1884 – 26 April 1949) was a farmer and politician in South Australia.

Norman was born at Medindie, South Australia, the second son of Eliza Martha (née Marshall; 1859–1931) and George Donald Brookman (1840–1927).

He was a student at Roseworthy College, and during the war of 1914–1918 served in France as a gunner with the 42nd battery, 11th Brigade Field Artillery.

[1] He and Jack Bice, both sons of ex-MLC knights, were Liberal and Country League candidates for the Southern district seats in the Legislative Council in 1941, and both were successful.

[2] Bice retired in 1959, but Norman Brookman was killed in 1949 when the car he was driving home from Victor Harbor crashed head-on into a 4-ton truck around 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Noarlunga.
