255675 Pte. Robert Howden British Army 26th (Tyneside Irish) Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers from:Edinburgh My grandfather, Robert Howden tried to join up when he was too young and my Great grandmother pulled him out. He eventually joined and served fighting in the Somme and over in the Flanders field. He was deafened and gassed during the conflict. He told my Aunt that he would not wish upon anybody the sights that he had seen. His health was never the same when he came home and he did not apply for a war pension because he thought it was his duty to fight for his country. I wish he had written everything down for us to pass it on. Alas a lot of my family served in WW2 and they too do not talk.
