Charles Henry Goodwin of the Hong Kong Police dies today, aged 44. He was one of a number of policemen who married their Chinese girlfriends in a mass ceremony at St. John's Cathedral on Boxing day 1941. His wife, formerly Kwong Yuet of Kowloon, was accepted into Rosary Hill Red Cross Home.

George Wright-Nooth's diary entry describing the kitchen system in 1944 mentions Goodwin:

Sergeants Goldie and Goodwin are the chief cooks for our quarters...Goldie is the better of the two. However, Goodwin always produces his meals on time.
