"My Dearest Clara"


Here are a couple of post cards that Harry wrote to Clara while he was serving in WWI. Look at the dates on the cards, 12 Dec., 1916 and 26 June, 1917. In the postcard on the left if you read it (click on picture to enlarge) you can see what I now know, Clara is his sweetheart, not his wife. Also in some of the other post cards they were addressed to Ms. Clara Hollywood, who's maiden name was my great-grandmother Mary Agnes (Hollywood) Galligan.
I still haven't had time to research Harry and find out what his last name was.
This is a love story unfolding before me and I am so excited to learn more about Clara and Harry! Hopefully this weekend I will have more time to dig around and see what I can find.
I'll keep you posted!

Hey Trish! How's life? Haven't checked on here for awhile, hope you are well! Cute puppy ya got there :)

Can you do me a huge favor? On the link to my blog on the side panel, can you change it so it doesn't have my name associated with it? I just don't want my real name tied in with my blog. Thanks in advance!

Are you still at VMG? How's things there? Again, hope everything's going well for you!
