“I have many happy memories, and memories of good pals who didn’t make it," WWII veteran Bob Howell says. BRISTOL, Maine — Bob Howell sits in the sunroom of the oldest house in Bristol, Maine, and talks of his childhood, including two years living in Bristol, England. Bob began training as an officer and found out he could go overseas but as part of the British Indian Army. “Two and a half million [soldiers], it was the largest army the world had seen and all volunteers,” Bob says. Bob says those years in the Army taught him self-discipline and helped him succeed in business and in life.
