Harry went to the war under an assumed name. His name was Hans Peter Meyer. His mother's correct name was Caroline Meyer not Catherine.

Thanks very much for this, Dell. I checked his service record (now linked from the 'Notes' field) and this confirms that he did give his mother's name as 'Caroline' when he attested. I've updated our record accordingly.
