He was the brother in law of my grandfather, James HARDING, who worked as an engineer in Rosario. James and Horace were going to work together in Argentina, but fell out, and although they both went to Argentina, they were not on speaking terms. James left Argentina in either 1924 or 1925 to return to England with my grandmother Elsie and their son Alan.

I am interested in finding out about Hubert Carr and his family. Hubert died 7th Sept. 1920 as manager
of Guer-Aike. Does anyone know where he came from? I assume he was British. Any information
gratefully received. Thankyou, Kevin. England
