Dvr. George Howard

British Army 116th Battery, 26th Brigade Royal Field Artillery

from:Limehouse, London

(d.7th Sept 1918)

George Howard was born 29th June 1895, his parents were Henry and Mary Ann (Suett) they had 10 children. Henry was a fish curier. Both Henry and Mary died in 1905 the children went to relations. George got married in 1913 to Florence Clayton. Their son John was born 1914 but died a few months later.

George joined the Royal Field Artillery at Woolwich in 1915 and was sent to the Front on 29th of July 1915. We do not have his service record. We have only one copy of a photo with 3 soldiers on and no one knows which one he is. His second son was born on 16 Nov 1917. He never knew his father as George was killed on 7th of Sept 1918 at Cherisy in France and is buried in Sun Quarry Cemetery. It is understood that he was with the Canadians. I am still researching. It's not easy. George was my late husbands's grandfather.
