  • Notes 

    • DEATH.

      William Goodwin died of a head injury received while playing rugby in England for the Navy during a 1956 posting with the HMNZS Bellonia. He was initially buried at Plymouth, Devon, England, but his body was repatriated to New Zealand in 2018. His repatriation was part of project Te Auraki (The Return), under which the NZ Defence Force is bringing home personnel buried overseas after January 1955. A service by the Navy was held at Devonport Navel Base and he was then taken to the Manukau Memorial Gardens to his final resting place. The service at Devonport involved a Maori welcome as his casket was carried past a Navy Guard of Honour.
