The family & friends of John Harder have been extremely generous with both their time & effort that they have given to help with this project; their contributions have brought the character of John Harder "alive" & I have to particularly thank Lewis & Carroll (one each of his sons & daughters) and Joan (his widow) who have helped obtain information from other friends & family.

In some ways, the highlight was a family reunion over in the USA to remember & honour not only John Harder, but also his brothers who served with the American forces in the Second World War.

These pages reflect the huge amount of memories and information that is stored in their collective brains! However, these memories (and other information that has come to light) have then raised questions to which, as yet, we do not have answers... they are summarised on the Unanswered Questions page of this site.
