Working with a team of seven (his chauffeur Fred Hards, his secretary, Miss Eileen Morden, Staff Sergeant J. Atkins, Driver D. Sharratt of 25 Bomb Disposal Company, and Sappers R. Dutson, B. Gillett and J. Hardy of 719 General Construction Company attached to 2 Bomb Disposal Company) in the Erith marshes on 12th May 1941, Charles Howard was attempting to remove two fuses from a bomb which had been dropped some eighteen months previously. The bomb exploded, killing all. Charles Howard, Earl of Suffolk, was awarded a posthumous George Cross. F. Hards and E. Morden were each given a Posthumous Commendation by the King for brave conduct in civil defence.http://www.royalengineersbombdisposal-eod.org.uk/12_may_1941.html There is also a memorial by G.E.R.
