• Notes

  Harold was a grocer before he served in WWII, at which point he went to Milne Bay in Papua New Guinea with the Army as a private, and at one time a Lance Corporal but mostly a private, in the bomb disposal squad. He went AWOL a few times during the war to be with his family. He was described as being a very gentle man for whom the war would have been the worst thing ever. Because the war was so unpleasant for him, as for many, he never was the same after. <hr>
