Doesn't appear in the index to LF Ellis' history of the Welsh Guards in WW2. Presumably he was wounded in WW2 and that contributed significantly to his death after the war...

I thought I had heard of every hospital in New York City, but I had never heard of Memorial Hospital.  It looks like it's Memorial Sloan Kettering today.  https://www.mskcc.org/about/history-milestones  They treat cancer there.  It looks like Howell and his wife traveled to New York to go to that hospital 11 days before his death.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-994V-TV93?i=440&cc=1923888&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A245L-4HG

He was the son of my great grandmother's sister, so I am related although not a direct descendant. There's an outside chance that my mum might know some of the descenadants...
