Arthur Rupert Goodyear joined up on 18th December 1911 to the Hampshire Royal Horse Artillery. He was 18 years 2 months and was in the employ of Wallis & Stevens as a turner (apprenticeship finished 1914).

Address at the time was 69 Church Street, Basingstoke, which matches the 1911 census address.

He was 5' 4", fair, wore glasses and had good physical development with a chest measurement of 34 1/2" fully expanded.

Discharged 24th April 1917 - termination of engagement.


Next of kin given as his father Thomas Goodyear of 69 Church Street, Basingstoke.



You could consider signing up for a 14 day free trial of Ancestry - you could ten download the documents for your records.

It would be a lovely touch to have copies of the originals rather than just the stuff I have picked out of the record.
