Alexander George Howie

Royal Navy HMS Drake IV

(d.17th Apr 1943)

I have recently discovered Alexander Howie was the son of my Godmother Florence Howie. His father, Alexander Beatson Howie had been in the merchant navy and was awarded an O.B.E.(although I have yet to discover the reason for this award). Alexander senior served on the Osiris II during WWI as an engineer and died from T.B.in Marseille in 1949 whilst serving on the Verand aged 71.

Alexander George Howie served with HMS Drake IV and died on the 17th of April 1943 aged 22.
