Today at the carboot, I picked up 5x medals, which I think are Father & Son, WW1 pair to PTE G Goddard Welsh R and WW11 War Medal, 39/45 Star and a Burma Star with the issue document to Pte G Goddard and the wording "The Council share your sorrow that Pte G Goddard in respect of whose service these Awards are granted did not live to receive them".
The lady selling them said they were something her husband had bought with some old pocket watches and did not want, so charged me the princely sum of £15 !
I did think they might be the same man but the CWGC show 3x Pte G Goddards who are all in their 20's.
