I tried to identify “Comrade Harry” through people
Alphaeus named in the letters, but I found no strong connections. “Comrade
Harry” was definitely someone that Alphaeus considered not only a brother in
the struggle, but also a friend and confidant. There was a moment in the
letters, after the loss of close comrades killed in the war, that Alphaeus
contemplated his own fate. He relied on, “Comrade Harry” to prepare his family
in the event he didn’t return home.
