I'm Joanne and I was always told that he preferred to be called Eric not Harold. I was also told and have the papers that tell my kids about man who liked a challenge. He changed from the rifle regiment to horses to learning how to fly in the first world war. My mother, Susanne daughter of Ruth, found diaries written by his wife Muriel her gran when she was on safari with Eric and my gran. They have what he shot and who they saw. My great grandfather was unfortunately attacked by a leopard he had been hunting and died of his injuries, even though my great gran was a fully trained nurse.
