Mon histoire
John Howard, a former tomato grower, was born in 1894 in Waltham Abbay, Essex, England, England. He was the son of John and Georgina Howard, was married to Priscilla Howard and was the father of Elsie Irene Howard. He enlisted in Waltham Abbey, Essex. He served in the 55th Bty of the 33rd Brigade Royal Field Artillery, part of the 11th (Northern) Division.
British artillerists, together with Canadians, were positioned in Zonnebeke during this time, behind the ruins of Zonnebeke Church. On November 11, 1917 the 55th Battery relieved a Canadian Brigade. On November 12, 1917 they were heavily shelled while using their 15 cm Howitzers in Zonnebeke. Three men of the 33rd Brigade were killed this day: Howard, Berry and Cooke.
John, aged 23, was killed in action on November 12, 1917. Gunner Howard was initially buried where he fell, near Zonnebeke Church (28.D.28.a.10.70). After the war, his remains were exhumed and reinterred in the White House Cemetery, Plot III, Row Q, Grave 9.
