F/Sgt. Colin G. Goodfellow . Royal Air Force 107 Squadon (d.12th Jul 1941) Flight Sergeant Colin G Goodfellow was originally from Ellesmere in Shropshire. I understand that he was sadly killed during a sortie over Ijmuiden in Holland whilst serving with 107 Squadron flying Blenheims on 12 July 1941. The family has always understood that no body was found although there may be a memorial. On behalf of his family I am looking for any further information, which would be gratefuly recieved and help to ensure his sacrifice and those of his colleagues are never forgotten.

Cpl. Elenar Goodfellow MID. Women's Auxiliary Air Force My late grandmother, Corporal Elenar Goodfellow was stationed at RAF Thornaby from 1939 until 1945, we believe. I have a certificate which states she was Mentioned in Dipatches for distinguished service, whilst serving in the Women's Auxillary Air Force. The certificate is dated 14th June 1945. I have tried to locate this in the London Gazette archives, but can find no evidence. I remember her talking of making parachutes, working in the fabric workshop. She also mentioned earning extra rations for packing some chemicals which turned her skin and urine yellow! I would be grateful for any information or ideas where I can search further.

PFC. Lester Earl Goodheart . United States Army 3rd Btn.

He was sent to Stalag IIB. He hardly ever spoke of what he went through, but he did mention working on a potato farm. He received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart among other medals and awards.

Pte. Joseph Goodier . British Army Royal East Kent Regiment from St. Helens I don't know much of my dad, Joseph Goodier's war. He was in north Africa, and marched up Italy.

RSM Thomas Goodier . British Army 6th Btn? South Lancashire Regiment from Warrington My grandfather served in the first world war in Galipoli. At the end of the First World War he signed on again. When I asked my father why he would do this the reply was that he had been an iron moulder in a Warrington factory before the war and had no wish to return to his old job in civvy street. My father felt that, despite the horrors of war, he had enjoyed travelling and had no desire for the dirt and grime of an ironworks.
He later served in Ireland, where he met my grandmother, and eventually rose to the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major. He stayed with the regiment until 1945 and later become caretaker of the Drill Hall at Warrington for many years.
I recall him quite well, I was ten years old when he died. My father was a serving soldier by then and we were in Germany so I didn't see him at the end of his life. I do recall that he had severe asthma and he said that this was due to being gassed during the first war - I have no idea if that is the case. The asthma was so severe that he would never have been allowed in the army with such a disability so whatever the cause it occurred later in life.
I wish I had known more about him and his time as a soldier. As my father was also a career soldier we didn’t see as much of Grandad as we would have liked but he probably would not have told us very much in any case.
