He resigned in June 1900, and married[1] an Australian woman (Mabel Amanda Alves 1877-1944) the following year.Шаблон:Sfn He never worked again, his right to deploy the title Major (see his wife's will) in later life stems from his father's role in the 4th Battalion of The Manchester Regiment, a volunteer territorial regiment in which Harry never saw active service.[2] He was succeeded as Locomotive and Marine Engineer by John G. Robinson.Шаблон:Sfn
