Notes:

OCCUPATION: Policeman, NSW Police Force. Joined NSW police as a probationary foot constable on 13th April, 1892. Appointed ordinary constable 13th April 1893; died in force 15th November 1895 (record states no details available). Stationed in the southern police district throughout his police career. (head station Goulburn NSW). Records do not reveal at which stations in the district John Howard was stationed.

Information as recorded by Joyce Ethel Gordon 17 April 1977
John Howard was a policeman in the NSW Police Force. He was at Goulburn and then was transferred to Braidwood. I believe he had the rank of Constable but could have been a Sergeant. He was in charge of Braidwood station and alone in his service in that community. I remember my mother telling of his death in this way; apparently there was trouble with the local publican of the time, he wished to trade after hours. Previous policeman had, it seemed for certain favours, permitted this and turned a blind eye to it. John Howard it seems would not allow it and refused bribery. The publican became incensed by this and in some way compromised John Howard with a young girl 16 years old. Accusations were made and a police enquiry followed at which John Howard was found guilty. He returned from the trial and took his service pistol to the back of the Police Station yard where there were some bushes or brush and shot himself dead. This has not been substantiated but feel it is possible it could be as it would be on record with the Police Force.

Headstone:
In loving remembrance of
Constable John Howard
Beloved husband of Lena Howard
Died 15 Nov 1895
Aged 24 years
"Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart
"Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
We for a time must part.
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee,
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Erected by his loving wife

Bailleul is a large town in France, near the Belgian border, 14.5 kilometres south-west of Ieper and on the main road from St. Omer to Lille. From the Grand Place, take the Ieper road and 400 metres along this road is a sign indicating the direction of the cemetery. Turn right into a small road and follow for approximately 400 metres. The cemetery is on the right and the Communal Cemetery Extension is at the bottom end.
Bailleul was occupied on 14 October 1914 by the 19th Brigade and the 4th Division. It became an important railhead, air depot and hospital centre, with the 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 11th, 53rd, 1st Canadian and 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Stations quartered in it for considerable periods. It was a corps headquarters until July 1917, when it was severely bombed and shelled, and after the Battle of Bailleul (13-15 April 1918), it fell into German hands and was not retaken until 30 August 1918. The earliest Commonwealth burials at Bailleul were made at the east end of the communal cemetery and in April 1915, when the space available had been filled, the extension was opened on the east side of the cemetery. The extension was used until April 1918, and again in September, and after the Armistice graves were brought in from the neighbouring battlefields. BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETERY contains 610 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; 17 of the graves were destroyed by shell fire and are represented by special memorials. BAILLEUL COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION contains 4,403 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; 11 of the graves made in April 1918 were destroyed by shell fire and are represented by special memorials. There are also 17 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and 154 German burials from both wars. Both the Commonwealth plot in the communal cemetery and the extension were designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
4343 identified casualties
