Pte. Samuel George Goodwin
British Army 12th Btn. East Surrey Regiment
from:Rotherhithe
(d.16th Jun 1917)
I believe Samuel Goodwin was part of the offensive at the Battle of Messines on the morning of 7th June 1917. I am trying to trace what happened to him as he died of wounds on 16th June and is buried at Lijssenthoek. I know this was the site of a military hospital and assume he was wounded on 7th or 8th June as the battalion moved back to the Old French Trench between the 8th and 12th June.
