Thomas D. Howie

 

 

(Donated by Mrs. Sally McDevitt) "St Lô - The flag covers MAJ Howie who was killed there."
The home armory in Staunton, Virginia is named for the Major of Saint Lô, Major Thomas D. Howie.   He is seen here with Captain Archibald Sproul (now LTG, Retired), probably in England shortly before the embarkation.  Click on the picture to see a larger version. The Flag covered body of Tom Howie (seen above left perhaps only weeks before).
