Pte. Robert Howden
British Army 26th (Tyneside Irish) Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

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.

Sgt. Edwin Walter Howe MiD.
Australian Imperial Forces 4th Battalion
from:London
Edwin Howe was born in London, England in 1896. He died in Cheltenham, Victoria. Australia in 1947 aged 51 years. Because Edwin had no headstone on his grave, my brother Graham, son in law of Edwin, decided to remedy this after the death of his wife Beverly in January 2018. Much research was done to obtain information re Edwin's Army life plus entitlement of medals. With a lot of help from my local RSL Advocate we obtained the replicas just in time to be able to place them on the unmarked grave at the 100 year celebration then later on the completed grave. I am posting photos of Edwin's grave in the hope that Tony Southend or Jacs may get to see them and get in contact with us.
