 3rd Parachute Brigade WW2 Reenactors - Maj. Howard
For Howard and his men the mission to seize the bridges had begun the previous evening in Dorset, when six Horsa gliders, each carrying 28 heavily armed troops, moved out over the airfield at Tarrant Rushton, behind the Halifax bombers which were their towing aircraft.
The importance of what Howard and his men had achieved became apparent to one of the local German commanders, Feldwebel Heinrich Hickman of Fallschirmjager Regiment 6, when what should have been a ten-minute journey to warn his company HQ at nearby Breville turned into a six-hour detour through the bombed out streets of Caen.
Howard, whose exploits on the day were re-enacted by Richard Todd in the D-Day film The Longest Day, was awarded the DSO and the Croix de Guerre avec Palme for his leadership.

Howard, a strong supporter of U.S. President George W. Bush in the war on terror, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer the "worst thing" that could happen in Iraq was a premature withdrawal of military forces.

 Thomas HOWARD (2° D. Norfolk)
For the Howards, the transition from Henry VII to his son was far smoother than that from Richard III to the first Tudor.
In Nov 1509, Surrey, Thomas and Edmund Howard and Thomas Boleyn obtained the lease of the lands of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Sir John Grey, viscount Lisle.
Nonetheless, the Howards continued their stirrings against Scotland, for Wolsey complained that Edward Howard used his closeness with Henry to urge the King to war with James.

 Al Beagan's "Genealogy Notes" / Soldiers in Newfoundland
In 1706 John Collins, a merchant, was appointed a captain of militia in St. John's, and in the winter of 1708-9, when St. John's was captured by the French, Collins was taken as a prisoner to Placentia.
Nobody expected St. John's to be attacked except by sea, and the fort was poorly located for this eventuality; in addition, the loss by the French of Placentia by the Treaty of Utrecht made it difficult for the French to attack St. John's from any other direction.
John Mahany of St. John's was also brought into court on the charge of breaking the peace by keeping a "disorderly house.., and having arms belonging to the king in his possession and publicly proclaiming his intention to resist arrest if any one came to take him.
