"Howards: A Legacy of Bravery, Creativity, and Resilience" From the self-propelled fire engine at LFB HQ in Southwark to the bravery displayed by Private Samuel Johnson of the Green Howards during the Capture of Belle Ile in Brittany, the name "Howards" has become synonymous with courage and determination. But it doesn't stop there. Howards House in Clapton stands as a testament to their enduring presence in history, and is a place where stories were woven, dreams were nurtured, and memories were made. The 7th Light Infantry Battalion of the Parachute Regiment proudly carries on this legacy. They embody the spirit of fearlessness that defines what it means to be a Howard. Music also plays an integral role in their narrative. From Howards Musical Valentine's vibrant color litho capturing hearts with its melodies to The Earl and the Girl by Seymour Hicks featuring music composed by Caryll – they have left an indelible mark on musical history. Their influence extends beyond just music; they have ventured into film as well. The Girl on the Film adapted by James Tanner showcases their ability to captivate audiences through storytelling. Even amidst adversity, such as during World War II when London was under attack from Blitz bombings, Howards Timber Yard in Poplar stood strong. Their resilience echoed throughout those dark times as they continued serving their community despite danger lurking around every corner. And let us not forget Science Allegorised - a testament to their intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge. Through science, they sought answers that would shape our understanding of the world we live in today. In essence, "Howards" represents more than just a name; it symbolizes bravery, creativity, and resilience passed down through generations.
