Notes:
In the publication "RHODESIAN JEWRY AND ITS STORY, PART 111, BY ERIC ROSENTHAL, Page 33, CHAPTER 28, RHODESIAN JEWS IN WORD WAR 1
We find reference to Harry's son, Byron.
The interesting thing is the reference to Byron being the son of a Bulawayo stockbroker.
This would imply that at the time of Byron's WW1 efforts, Harry was in Bulawayo.
