Harold died after the end of fighting in Tunisia (May 1943) which suggested falling prey to some disease (or perhaps an accident or a rare Luftwaffe raid.)
A relative (Rosemary Goodall) has come to the rescue with the information that Harold was indeed a victim of a bombing raid at the end of the Tunisian campaign.
