This might be a bit of a strange post, but this has bothered me for a few years now.
I’ve notice through a few social media posts remembering fallen soldiers, that a young lad from Blackpool Kevin Johnson was killed in Northern Ireland on this day in 1978. He was 20 at the time of his death making me a similar age to him.
I could have sworn In My youth I palled around with him somewhat at snooker halls. But to my shame my memory isn’t what it used to be and I wish I could remember for certain. I’m fairly convinced I hung around with Kevin in our school days.
I was just wondering if any of the older posters knew him or had any info on his family.
I think I’ve attached the description of him and his picture.
Either way a young Blackpool lad that gave his life for our country, who barely gets a mention now. RIP Kevin.
Edit to add won’t let me upload the photo will keep trying.
