Geoffrey Howard, who was born in Maidenhead in September 1897, originally entered the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class in November 1912, and was serving aboard the cruiser H.M.S. Black Prince on the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914. Transferring to submarines with an appointment as a Telegraphist in Cyclops in April 1916, he served in the K. 11 from November of the same year until June 1919, and in the L. 4 from the latter month until being discharged ashore in late 1920.
Howard then enlisted in the Royal Air Force at Ruislip in January 1923, gaining his L.S. & G.C. Medal in February 1936 and a commission as a Pilot Officer in the Signals Branch in 1940. Subsequently employed at West Drayton for much of the War, he won a brace of “mentions” in addition to his M.B.E. (London Gazettes 1 January 1943 and 1 January 1945 refer). Howard was placed on the Retired List as a Squadron Leader in 1953; sold with a quantity of research.
