Sig. Ernest McGowan
British Army Royal Signals
from:Glossop, Derbyshire
(d.17th June 1940)
My uncle, Ernest McGowan from Glossop in Derbyshire, he was a signalman with the Royal Corps of Signals. Service Number 2587688.
He was aged 26 when he died, presumed drowned aboard the SS Lancastria on 17th June 1940. I suppose it would be too much to hope that anyone reading this would have any memories of him.
