Capt. Alfred Heywood Howard
British Army 4th Battalion Welch Regiment
from:Haverford West
(d.10th Aug 1915)
Alfred Howard was my 2nd Great Uncle who was a Captain in the pre war territorial battalion. He had trained with them for several years before the war and despite advice from senior officers that he was too old to go on active service at the outbreak of the Great War, he wanted to go with his men. He was killed on the initial day of landings at Gallipoli, before he got ashore, his body was not recovered.
