Atkinson was born at 31 Ashley Avenue, Belfast on 26th July 1919 to George Duncan Atkinson, Methodist Clergyman and Florence Margaret Atkinson nee Hutchinson. They were married on 1st July 1914 at St. Peters Methodist Church, Phibsborough, Dublin.
Following his education, Norman joined the Ulster Bank and first served as a junior working in the Paste Room (c. 1938).
A photograph of him with colleagues, J K Porter, T K Adair and C F R Anderson appears on page 219 of the book, 'The Ulster Bank Story' by Lyn Gallagher. Adair and Porter also served during the war.
The website Forces War Records details a N D Atkinson who served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1941.
If Atkinson had continued his army career into the TA after the war, then it is possible that the following Atkinson is the same person.
The London Gazette of 16th October 1965 records a 2nd Lieutenant N D Atkinson with Service Number 473673 being confirmed as 2nd Lieutenant with effect from April 1963 and being promoted to Lieutenant in September 1965. He was serving with the Royal Corps of Signals.
