Husband of Jean (Jean originally from Maidstone Kent, do not know her surname) . Son of Frank and Mary Goddard.

Les was 26 when he was killed in 1944 and he is buried in the Bayeaux Cemetary in France. He was a member of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. We think he had connections in Scotland when he was young.

Can anybody help??
