George Howson (army officer)
Major George Arthur Howson MC (7 September 1886 – 28 November 1936) was an officer in the British Army in the First World War, and later the founder and chairman of the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory.
==Early life==
Howson was the youngest child of George Howson, rector of Overton-on-Dee (then in Flintshire). He was the descendant of Anglican clergymen through both parents: his paternal grandfather (John Howson) was Dean of Chester, and his maternal great-grandfather (Thomas Dealtry) was Bishop of Madras. He was christened with a second forename, Arthur, but he disliked it, and never used it.
Howson was educated at Loretto School, Musselburgh, and studied at Heriot-Watt College in Edinburgh. After university, through his father's connections, he was found a position as assistant manager at a rubber estate in Borneo in 1909, where he contracted malaria, dysentery, and jaundice.
