Captain Roger Philip Goad, GC, BEM, was an explosives officer with London's Metropolitan Police Service who was posthumously awarded the George Cross for the heroism he displayed on 29 August 1975. He had previously been awarded the British Empire Medal in 1958 for gallantry whilst serving with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in Cyprus, for repeated acts of deliberate courage in the disarming of bombs and booby traps set by terrorists.〔(London gazette )〕 Following a telephone tip-off, police officers found a suspicious package placed in a shop doorway in Kensington Church Street in London. Goad was the senior bomb disposal expert on the scene. A bomb, fitted with an anti-handling device, had been placed by Provisional Irish Republican Army members. Goad attempted to defuse the bomb but it exploded, killing him instantly. He was a 40-year-old married man with two children.〔(Police Memorial roll )〕 His citation was published in The London Gazette of 1 October 1976.〔(London Gazette )〕 The bomb had been placed by the active service unit responsible for the 1974–1975 terror campaign in London, who were later captured at the conclusion of the Balcombe Street siege.〔"The Road to Balcombe Street", Dr. Steven Moysey, Haworth, (2007)〕 ==See also==
