Fus. James George Goodwin

British Army Royal Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Dipton, Co Durham

Jimmy Goodwin was my maternal grandfather. He was a coalminer before the war. The story goes that he was taken prisoner after his unit were surrounded by Rommel in North Africa. He was imprisoned in at least one POW camp (Wolfsberg) though he may have been at others. He spent his 21st birthday in a POW camp. He also had his finger nails pulled out because they were damaged due to the heavy work he was doing there. He survived the war, but it broke his health and he died young, in 1971.
