Notes
Son of George and Mary Goult of Newmarket, Suffolk. Buried in grave Plot 6, Row G, Grave 4, Cherbough Old Communal Cemetery, France. At RAF Hartfordbridge, Hants flying Bostons, no longer Bomber Command, by then it was 2nd Tactical Air Force. From the records it appears that the whole crew of his Boston perished and are buried in adjoining graves.
Awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal before he received his commission: Sgt. G. W. Goult No 226 Sqdn. When in action against an enemy convoy, Sgt Goult, by cool and accurate fire, forced an enemy aircraft to break away and it was shortly after destroyed. During an operation in October 1941, Sgt Goult was attacked by four enemy aircraft, but, as a result of steady and accurate fire from his guns, one dived away from the action fetching a trail of smoke. His high courage, coolness and resource, and his determination to destroy the enemy, have been in a great measure responsible for the splendid offensive spirit of the crew with whom he flies.
