Cpl. John Goggin

British Army Somerset Light Infantry

(d.20th Feb 1945)

I never knew my Grandfather, John Goggins, he was killed in action and is buried at the Reichwald Forest Cemetery with half of my Nana's ashes scattered on his grave. The other half of her ashes are with her second husband who died in the sixties, he was her second husband taken by the war. He suffered and died from lung infections due to smoke inhalation when firefighting during the blitz. I know John was 6 foot 6 inches and from his picture was a very impressive and handsome man. He left a son and daughter. I have the memorial certificate that my Nan had, but would like Grandfathers medals.
