224315 Pte. Robert Howard British Army 1st Battalion Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry from:Reading (d.28th May 1940) Robert Howard was my grandfather on my mothers side. My nan (his wife) had always thought that he had been injured in the withdrawal from Dunkirk and died on the beach, I am not sure how she got this info because the truth was discovered about ten years ago when my mum went to visit his grave in Hondeshoote, Belgium. He is buried in a section of the graveyard dedicated to the 50 men of mixed regiments and armies who stayed behind to fight a rearguard action against the Germans, as far as it says on the memorial none survived. My mum has told me he was a regular soldier who had joined up as a young man and said that he had served some where in India possibly Burma. Before the war as she has a picture of him in a pith helmet. He was in the first battalion and I am trying to find out more about his service record Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
