A Deck Hand with H.M. Trawler Remindo, Henry died on 2nd of February 1918 at the age of 22. 

Henry was born at Lowestoft on 10 January 1896, a son of Henry Dowe and Elizabeth Garwood. He was baptised at Saint Margaret's Church, Lowestoft, on 7 February 1896, and his family lived at 39 Wollaston Road, Lowestoft. By 1901 his father had died and his family still lived at 39 Wollaston Road. In 1911 they were living at 26 Till Road, Lowestoft, and Henry was a labourer at a saw mill. By September 1914 his family were living at 32 Norwich Road, Lowestoft. His mother later remarried (Youngs).

Henry was working as a fisherman when he joined the Royal Naval Reserve on 17 September 1914. From 15 November 1915 to 30 July 1917 he served on H.M.S. Amsterdam. On 1 October 1917 he joined the trawler Remindo. 

The Remindo was equipped for anti-submarine work and had been requisitioned in September 1917. On 2 February 1918 the trawler was sunk off Portland. It was presumed to have been sunk by a mine, but some sources suggest it was sunk by submarine U-79. 

All of the crew were lost.
