son of Emanuel Howe, 2nd Viscount Howe and his wife Charlotte. His grandmother had been the mistress of King George I and as a result Howe and his three brothers were the illegitimate uncles of King George III. Attending Eton, Howe followed his two elder brothers into the military on September 18, 1746 when he purchased a commission as a coronet in Cumberland's Light Dragoons. A quick study, he was promoted to lieutenant the following year and captain in 1750. While with the regiment, he befriended Major james Wolfe , one of his future commanders

William battles over the years • General Howe's first major battles against American people .

General george washington , including the battleof bunker hill , came during the Patriot siege of Boston. They proved to be disappointing failures that resulted in a British retreat from Boston in March 1776. Howe and the British army redeemed themselves, however, with a victory over Washington and the Continental Army at the battle of long island . in August. Just one month later, Howe led a British invasion of new york city . While successful during the fall of 1776, many believe General Howe missed an opportunity to crush General Washington and the Continental Army by not pursuing the Patriots as they retreated from new york city .
