Cecil William Robert Howlett

Details

BiographyThe Epping War Memorial has an S. Howlett listed on it, but extensive searching has failed to identify an S. Howlett who died in the war and had links to Epping.

A Stanley Howlett survived the war and was awarded the Military Medal. He had a brother Cecil William Robert who died at Gallipoli. It appears that the S is a mistake and should read as a C.

The family's link to Epping is proven by a 1918 "in memoriam" notice which states that his parents originally came from Leddenham in NSW but by May 1918 they were living in Epping.
