Wilfred James Gooch was born on March 13, 1919, and married in Norwich, Norfolk, England. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force on May 21, 1937. He was in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, from November 1941 to 1944 at the Service Flight Training School (STFS No. 39). Around the base, Sgt.

He became a reservist after the Second World War. Sgt. Gooch worked throughout his life in forestry and went on the Fields Studies Council in June 1951. He died in 2003 in England.
