A. W. GOODMAN W. A. GOODMAN	We have received information from a family member which leads us to believe that these two men are one and the same. The reason for this seems to be the usual one - i.e. the age men gave on commencement of the long-term contract which was 22 years in length. There was no check on dates of birth available to the Navy so they took each man's statement at face value. Today, it is quite easy to see if the wrong age was given because we have access to birth registration details but it is quite common to find given ages for sailors to be 2 years out. It would appear that Warwick Arthurt Goodman decided to change his name to make detection harder. He was registered at birth as Arthur Warwick and married under this name. 343628 Chief Armourer Arthur Warwick Goodman of the Royal Navy, HMS Vivid.

*From the Teignmouth Post

31 March 1916 :

"Mr. Charles Young, of the Bee Hive Inn, Teignmouth, on Tuesday received intimation from the War Office that his nephew, Private H. Huntley, of one of the Canadian Regiments, had been killed in action.

He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Huntley of Bitton Street. "Bert" as he was familiarly called, was well-known in Teignmouth, and was here on leave just before Christmas. He emigrated to Canada about eighteen months since with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Alex King. For some time he was engaged in farming with his relatives, and afterwards as a lumberman. During one of the recruiting marches in Halifax, where he was in the Police Force, he presented himself for enlistment and was accepted.

He was a fine-built young man of 27 years of age. Private Huntley is the first of the 39 members of the Teignmouth Swimming Club, who are on active service, to be killed. For several seasons he acted as goal-keeper of the water polo team, and played some brilliant games. He was also a member of the Teignmouth Football Club. Prior to emigrating to Canada, he served in the Metropolitan Police. His death is regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintences."
