L/Cpl. Samuel William Heward
British Army 8th Btn Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:London
(d.9th Apr 1916)
Samuel Heward enlisted in the Middlesex Regiment and was subsequently transferred to the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
He was my great Uncle and, as a child, I remember always going to the remembrance parade at Hampstead Parish Church where Samuel is recorded on the war memorial.
He is also remembered on the war memorial at Loos in France where he was killed on 9th of April 1916 and where I visited some time ago.
Samuel left behind his wife Elizabeth and five children, Elizabeth, Queenie, Winifred, Ivy and Samuel who was just 10 days old when his father was killed.
