War Service Recognition Booklet 2 Congratulations to The Royal Canadian Legion Newfoundland & Labrador Command Management and Staff of Muirs Marble Works Ltd. Contractor for Veterans Memorials 162 YEARS SERVING NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR In October of 1942, the HMS Avenger left Scotland to take part in Operation ‘Torch’ – the invasion of North Africa. She was accompanied by her sister ship, the HMS BITER and the fleet carrier the HMS VICTORIOUS. On November 15 th , the AVENGER was hit by a torpedo from a German U-Boat. The AVENGER blew up with a tremendous flash and roar and went down with almost all hands. Thirty-two Newfoundlanders were serving on the Avenger that day and thirty-one lost their lives. This represented the largest casualty list of Newfoundlanders in the Royal Navy in both World Wars. Included on the list of casualties that bitter cold November morning, was a native son of the Goulds – Jx195242 Seaman Robert Edward Howlett. Robert Edward Howlett was born at Forest Pond, Goulds on November 28, 1914 – the seventh and last child of Edward (Ned) and Lucy (Pridham) Howlett. He was orphaned before age two and lived with relatives. He attended St. Kevins School and worked on various farms in the Goulds and Kilbride. On April 22, 1940, he enlisted in the 6th Naval Contingent of the Royal Navy and began his service on the HMS PEMBROOKE. In the fall of 1942, he became ill and was hospitalized in the United Kingdom. Upon his recovery, he was assigned to the aircraft carrier HMS AVENGER and was the only resident of the Goulds to give the supreme sacrifice during World War II. During a May 1990 interview with James J. Howlett (brother of Robert), he stated, “…the thing I remember most about World War II is that very sad day when Fr. Rawlins (Rev. Edward J. Rawlins, P.P. Petty Harbour) came to my house to break the news that my brother, Bob, was killed in action off the coast of Gibraltar…. He was so young; he was a fine person and a good brother…. He was going to be married when he returned from the war….” To honour his memory, and because “he laid down his life in defense of the Empire,” Robert Edward Howlett was awarded posthumously the Silver Cross and other medals. His grave is the ocean, but a gray granite monument and Union Jack flag mark an empty grave in the Howlett’s family plot in St. Kevins Cemetery, Goulds. On Remembrance Day (Nov. 11, 2002), the former Goulds Bypass Road was renamed the Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive to honour this native son who gave his life for his country and community.

War Service Recognition Booklet 34 Is proud to honour our Veterans “Lest We Forget” Message from the Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs This is the time of year when we remember the service and achievements of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who served during the first and second World Wars and the Korean War. We also honour the memory of those who lost their lives to provide us with one of the most basic human rights, freedom. The ultimate sacrifice our men and women made to their country must never be forgotten. One of the most valuable means we have to keep their memory alive is through the work of the Royal Canadian Legion and in particular the Newfoundland and Labrador Command. This outstanding organization tirelessly advocates on behalf of veterans. It also provides valuable opportunities for our young people through scholarships and youthsponsored programs such as Cadets. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador fully supports the Royal Canadian Legion and recognizes the contributions it makes to our society. I encourage all residents of the province to wear the poppy during November to show respect for our veterans and those who sacrificed their lives. I also encourage residents to attend Remembrance Day events in their communities. Lest we forget. Jack Byrne, Minister Municipal and Provincial Affairs DR. BRENDAN D. LEWIS, M.D. FRCSC D.P.
