Add my storyBiography contributed by Sharyn Roberts
Harrold Ernest Sullivan, known as Harry, was one of seven children of Ernest Sullivan and Sophia May nee Miller. After finishing school he worked as a butcher at Coromandel Valley. After meeting his wife Kathleen, he lived in a house owned by her father in Knoxville, now Glenside. Harry served in the Middle East and returned home in late March 1943 to meet his first child. He was sent to New Guinea where he died 5 months later, never having the chance to meet his only son. Harry's legacy lives on as two of his great-grandchildren have the middle names Harry and Harrold.
