Another WWII mystery - Eleanor Bradley Harris

[frogmarch]

A while back, I happened to see a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt on the Internet and recalled that when I was 10, I asked my dad if I was named after her. I said I hoped I was. He told me that no, I was named after another Eleanor, a wonderful Army nurse in India named Eleanor Bradley who'd helped my mother bring me into the world. Later, when I found out I had two moms, I learned that my second mother, Mary, who was also in India then (ARC), was friends with Eleanor Bradley. She called her "Brad."

The *Nurses of CBI (China Burma India) Theater WWII* webpage says Eleanor Bradley later married and became Eleanor Bradley Harris.

My first mother, Kate ("Kitty" ), who died when I was two weeks old, was Anglo-Indian. My dad said I was given my nurse Eleanor's name - and my mother Kitty's eyes.



From time to time, I search the Internet for pre- and post-war information on Eleanor Bradley Harris, but I've had no luck so far.
