I spent virtually the whole day reading and studying Harold's letters to Vincent. H seems to have been posted to Canada's far far northern territory, starting in a dead and alive town called Laverna. He was a sort of Friar from what I can make out, with the job of trying to reach as many people in those far flung places as he could reasonably do.
It all sounded amazing and the distances he travelled were vast and the conditions poor but he was in good spirits most of the time with stories to tell. I tried to see if there were any records of his activities on-line. I would guess many people must have been influenced by him and he arranged all kinds of new groups and events, especially scouting ones, of which he was particularly fond.
Put some good extracts + a pic of the mystery silver object on my In The Village blog.
