Leonard Bernard HARROP

[abun]

I live in the UK and am in the process of completing a biography of one of my Australian relatives, Leonard Bernard Harrop, 1910-1990.

Born in Western Australia to Herbert Booth Harrop and Elizabeth Bird, if anybody has any stories/memories/recollections/information etc., I would very much like to hear from you.

Many thanks.

Thanks Leanne, fastfusion and Dee.

I actually have all the information you provided, but appreciate your efforts.  It was always a long shot that anybody would actually have any memories or recollections, but worth a try.

Thanks again
