| Howell, P | Brigadier General | Biography Brigadier-General Philip Howell, CMG was a senior British Army staff officer during the First World War. He was, successively, Brigadier General, General Staff (BGGS) to the Cavalry Corps and then to X Corps. In October 1915 he was posted as BGGS to the British Salonika Army before appointment as BGGS and second-in-command to II Corps, then forming part of the Fifth Army at the Battle of Somme in 1916. At the outbreak of war with Germany in 1914, the 4th Hussars was mobilized as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) making its way to Dublin for embarkation to France. The regiment travelled with its horses aboard the SS Atlantus , arriving in Le Havre on 15 August 1914. The 4th Hussars formed part of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade commanded by Brigadier General Hubert Gough, and quickly became embroiled in the Battle and subsequent Retreat from Mons. During these actions the commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ian Hogg, died from wounds received in a rear-guard action on 1 September. Howell assumed command of the 4th Hussars through the Battle of Le Cateau, until relieved by the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel Tom Bridges on 27 September. However, Bridges appointment lasted three days, before he was promoted Brigadier General and sent to become chief military adviser to the King of Belgium. Howell resumed command of the 4th Hussars, being promoted Lieutenant Colonel on 18 October. He led the 4th Hussars throughout the remainder of the advance of First Battle of Marne, and then in the following ten months through the frontline carnage of the First Battle of Ypres, Hill 60, and Neuve Chappelle. Howell was respected by his men as a gallant and able regimental commander, and these were quoted as saying that “if the Colonel was there, everything was alright.” On one occasion during the battle of Ypres, when his regiment were ordered to take a tactically useless obstacle (a stable block) that had been retaken several times at considerable human cost, Howell was able to countermand on the pretext that as the order was being made the telephone line had been cut. Afterward he stated that “a deaf ear at the telephone may be as useful as a blind eye at the telescope”. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in February 1915 for “meritorious service during the war” and had by this stage of the war been mentioned in despatches no less than four times. Howell was killed in action at Authuille by shrapnel on 7 October 1916, after making a personal reconnaissance of the frontline near Thiepval during the later Somme offensives. He was mentioned in despatches six times, and made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1915 for “meritorious service”. | |
