The island of Stroma , between the Orkney islands and Caithness , has an area named Powe .
"Both of the World Wars had a major impact on Stroma, which was only a dozen miles from the Royal Navy's chief base at Scapa Flow in Orkney. Six islanders died in each of the World Wars; the names of all twelve are inscribed on the island's war memorial, and during the Second World War as much as a quarter of the population was on war service."
Is it possible that 'Harry' had some connection with the island ?
