Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of William Harris Howard and Margaret Howard, of Roslyn, Goomeri, Queensland.

Much regret was expressed in the Goomeri district at the news of the death of Private A H Howard, the cause of death being pneumonia. Prior to enlisting deceased was dairy farming with his brother at Boonara. "Dick" as he was popularly called was a great favourite in the district and many expressions of sympathy have been received by his father Mr W H Howard of Roslyn. Mr Howard's eldest son, Gunner Collie Howard, has been at the front for some time.
