Howard James Gould (Howie) on December 4, 1942, at his Wings Parade, where he was awarded his pilot's wings and his commission as a Pilot Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. <P>
Immediately after his Wings Parade, Howie was posted overseas. When he arrived in England in January, 1943, Howie met for the first time his Grannie Gould, aunts, and cousins. This was the first meeting between the Canadian and English branches of the family since Howie's father had left England to farm in the Canadian West at age eighteen, in 1905.

Howard James Gould with his sister, Mary Young, while on embarkation leave in Maryfield, Saskatchewan. This was a time of great pride for the Gould family, since Howie was the first young man from the village to achieve officer rank. He was the subject of great admiration, and looked most handsome in his smart new uniform, with the Pilot Officer braid, and the pilot's wings.
