Sgt. Joseph Eric Goddard not known

Royal Air Force 101 Squadron

from:Grassmoor, Derbyshire

(d.28th Jul 1943)

Eric Goddard was the only son of Tom and Mary Ann Goddard of Grassmoor, Derbyshire. Thought to have gone to a grammar school. His mother died of a broken heart shortly after she lost her only son. He was a navigator of Lancaster Bomber, died on July 28th 1943 age 27 years old. We are assuming he died in the Hamburg bombing navigating a Lancaster plane. Joseph Eric Goddard is buried in Hamburg War Cemetary. Any more info greatly appreciated.

Additional Information:

Pre war Joseph was a member of the Hampshire Constabulary. The Hampshire Constabulary History Society are compiling information in order to produce a memorial book dedicated to the men of the Hampshire Constabulary who lost their lives during the two world wars. Any assistance from family members would be appreciated.
