Mstr. Francis COGHLAN

I live with my wife Joan (nee Coghlan) in Semaphore. Frank (Joan's uncle) was one of 5 children who came out with mother Catherine in 1912 from Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides where their parents ran the only school. Their father followed later and taught at Goolwa. Frank was educated at Rostrevor and worked in banks in many SA country towns. He was a valued community member and joined the army at the outbreak of WW11 . He was sadly killed in action at El Alamein - he is buried in their local cemetery.
