Harold D. Leddy at Camp Mead, MD.

I have a Souvenir Folder of Camp Meade Md. which Harold Leddy sent to his cousin Francis Leddy (who was ten at the time) at 899 No. Chester Ave in Pasadena, year 1917.  He was obviously on route to the European front. (This souvenir postcard folder can be purchased on Amazon.com for $25.)  There is no note on the car.  It contains 16 black and white photos of life at Camp Meade.  Information about Camp Meade can be found here  www.history.army.mil    In the "From" section it can be seen the Harold was in Truck Co. #4.

Harold and Margaret Leddy

Harold and Margaret Leddy 1920s?

Two US Navy Sailors and Albert Leddy?

Albert Leddy and two sailors?  WWII.   I am not sure who these are.  The fellow on the left has glasses like Don Leddy, but doesn't look quite like him. I suspect the one in the center is Albert Leddy Probably Jack Leddy took the picture.

Sister Marie Eddie

This is the woman I knew as "Aunt Mari" (Marie C. Eddie 1899-1975 in Los Gatos) sister of Margaret Leddy.  In the second photograph she is shown with Margaret, wife of Harold D. Leddy.  There is a possibility, however. that this is my aunt Alma Leddy who was Harold's sister.  She was also a Catholic nun and also was at the convent in Los Gatos towards the end of her life.  I do not know the "nun" names of either.
