Gentlemen,
I have recemtly aquired a "Kukri" and, engraved on the blade is the following inscription - "Capt. K. E. Goddard 1936". I have discovered the following info regarding Cpt. Goddard but I am confused in that it appears that he died in 1934 yet the date on the blade is 1936?
Despite an extensive search I can find no other information regarding this man - I wondered if any others on the site could help either with further background on the chap himself or any explanation as to the differing dates.
Many thanks for your help
Fabwab
