Goold, Edward Ernest

Born 13^th July 1889 Ulverstone Tasmania the son of George and Maria Alma Goold (nee Heaton) a labourer he embarked Melbourne 27^th October 1915 on board “HMAT Ulysses” with the 26^th Infantry Battalion.

He died 12^th June 1916 at the 1^st Australian Casualty Clearing Station from a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was buried in the Estaires Communal Cemetery and Extension, Estaires, Nord, France.

It is with sorrow that I chronicle the death of Private Ern Goold who was killed in action on June 12^th Private Goold was the third son of Mr and Mrs Geo Goold of Sprent and enlisted, with many other local lads about 12 months ago. He was located in Egypt for some time and then proceded to France where he took part in some of the recent engagements and gave his life nobly for the Empire. He was very popular at Sprent and will be missed by his many friends. A memorial service is to be held next Sunday in St Andrew’s Anglican Church.
