* Taken from the book about his brother Peter, a
journalist, playwright, captain of the England national rugby union team and
leader of Moral Re-Armament from 1961 to 1965, "Peter
Howard, life and letters" by Anne Wolrige Gordon (London : Hodder and
Stoughton, 1969):
On September 17, 1944, Peter Howard's only brother, John, was one of those in
the Paratroop regiment who left for Arnhem: "One autumn morning I trod my way to
work along a secret, scented hedgerow path beaten into hardness by the clump,
clump, clump, of generations of agricultural boots against the soil.
"I took my four-pronged fork and began to shovel black moist muck from the
cattle yard into the tumbrils.
"I did not sing at my work that morning. As my back began to ache in the rhythm
of the toil, my heart ached too with a sense of apprehension and foreboding. For
overhead, hour upon hour, in steady formation, the tugs and gliders flew east
towards Arnhem. In one of them was my young and only brother.
"I wondered whether John would look out upon the farm as he passed by. He knew
the place and loved it. He had shot partridges there and tramped the fields with
me. Only a few weeks before he had written asking if he could come and work
there when the war was over.
"So gay and brave I pictured him, as I straightened my aching back in the cattle
yard, and, resting on my fork, strained my eyes to watch the airborne cavalcade
ride by.
"His eyes were green-blue and his hair was golden. All through the war he fought
— a private in the artillery, commando raids on the Channel Isles and Lofoten, a
commission to the Royal Sussex Regiment, wounded at Alamein, now a captain in
the Airborne Division on his way to Arnhem.
'It will take more than a Nazi to get me,' he said last time I saw him.
"John never came back from Arnhem. Most of his company were killed. They were at
the flash-point of the fighting. John was raged at the death of his friends. He
was last seen by a British scout two miles outside our perimeter, hiding by
himself in a ditch and sniping at the enemy. The scout asked him whether he
would not return to the perimeter. 'I'm doing very well where I am, thank you,'
answered John. So the scout gave him a few biscuits and a hunk of cheese and
left him alone in his ditch with the enemy all around him.
"Hard it is to believe that someone so young and vehement can be so quiet and
still. Many o f us in so many lands today have simple and cherished
recollections like this, pearls of great price threaded on the everlasting
string o f memory, about someone we have loved and lost awhile.
"To me the worst pain of such a parting is the thought of how differently I
should have acted i f we could have our times together again. If only I had not
said that . . . If only I had not done this . . . If only . . . I loved the boy
so much and often showed it him so badly." |
