He received his pilot wings on August 14, and went to France on active service four days later. He died when his plane was brought down in flames across German lines in France, after completing 16 long-distance raids. Haley had earlier been in the Royal Engineers, Signals Division in He had served in France, been wounded in , was repatriated and in given a temporary commission in the Essex Regiment, then attached to the Royal Flying Corps, later Royal Air Force.

Godet was the pilot and Haley the observer. The two were initially buried together with great honour by French villagers in a grave especially created for them in Antilly, but it is believed they were later moved by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as they are now reburied in adjacent graves numbered and in the French National Cemetery at Chambieres, Metz. Initial burial place in Antilly, provided by kind-heated locals, of 2nd Lieutenants Leonard Godet and Arthur Haley spelt wrongly by the locals. They were later reburied, again together. Poem above was discovered by Mrs Janet Bowen nee Haley , among her father's papers, below, of the poem written by grieving mother Maud Godet of Bermuda about the resting place in Lorraine, France, of her beloved dead son Leonard, buried alongside Arthur Haley.

Mr Haley was the great uncle of Janet Bowen, her grandfather's brother. See Bermuda Royal Gazette. It included top right an article entitled "Lt. Godet, father of Lt. Godet, for permission to publish an English translation of a statement sent in German by a German major about the death in air combat of Lt Godet. The statement was sent to Mr Godet Senior by a friend residing in Switzerland who was acquainted with the Right Honourable Count Conrad Zeppelin, a well-known and very senior German official and who was appealed to by the friend for assistance in tracing the missing aviator.

A courteous reply was promptly given to Count Zeppenin and relayed back via the friend to Lt. On the return journey the weather suddenly became hazy, and one of the pilots lost touch with the formation in the clouds. The British pilot set his course due west, and flew on for some time. Having made what he thought was sufficient allowance for the distance to the British lines, he put down the nose of his machine and saw beneath him an aerodrome.

The wind, however, freshened considerably, and so far as covering the ground was concerned he had been making only half the speed shown on airspeed indicator. As he circled over the aerodrome, preparing to land, a German Scout machine suddenly appeared from the clouds above him, and immediately to attack. Marveling at the unusual temerity of the German in daring to attack over an English aerodrome, the British pilot checked his descent and opened fire on his attacker.

At this moment he became aware that no fewer than thirty German machines were actually climbing towards him from the aerodrome. Realizing now that he was over an enemy aerodrome, he dived towards the first group of German squadrons, both he and his observer firing on every machine upon which they could get their guns to bear. The enemy pilots appeared too bewildered by the outstanding audacity of the British airmen to attack them effectively at first, and their own tremendous numerical superiority seemed further to confuse them.

One German plane burst into flames in the air, two more went down spinning and side slipping completely out of control. Four enemy scouts had by this time got into position to attack, clinging to the tail of the British machine.

Two of these were sent blazing to earth. Shaking himself clear of the remainder, the British pilot opened his throttle and sped homewards leaving on that German aerodrome three blazing wrecks, and two other crashed machines as a highly satisfactory outcome of what might have proved a fatal mistake. Earlier, he'd been awarded another medal, the Star Trio. He was presented with the Distinguished Flying Cross for flying his bomber into the centre of a formation of some 30 German planes.

He and his observer shot three down in flames and sent two others crashing to the ground. He had sent a postcard sent to his half-sister Ethel in Bermuda after he was injured twice on the front line. He and his wife had a daughter, Ilys Spurling Marsh, who was brought up at "Penarth", the family home in Rosemont Avenue. Her father rarely talked about his wartime experiences, including the heroics which led to his DFC.

Her father, known as Rowe, was born in and joined the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps in February , sailing with the first war contingent for England in May and soon after being posted to the Lincolnshire Regiment. His postcard to Ethel describes how was "wounded in the hand" on July 3 and returned to the front to be "wounded in the foot and buried for a few hours" on July He was commissioned in July and qualified for service in the Royal Flying Corps in September, before being posted to France and joining 49 Squadron in July His DFC was announced in the London Gazette on this day, in a report which described how he got separated from his formation and was attacked by a Fokker biplane at 2, feet.

Spurling then observed some 30 machines of the same type, heavily camouflaged; with great gallantry he dived through the centre of the formation, shooting down one machine in flames; two others were seen to be in a spin. Spurling enabled his observer to shoot down two of these in flames. The three remaining aircraft broke off the combat and disappeared in the mist.

A fine performance, reflecting the greatest credit on this officer and his observer. He married Ilys Darrell in and ran a taxi service on the Island, as well as importing mushrooms and starting the Rowe Spurling paint supply company. He and his wife moved to Guernsey in the early s but eventually sold up there with a plan to return to Bermuda. Spurling developed Alzheimer's Disease and died in a nursing home in England, aged His body was flown back to the Island for a funeral at the Anglican Cathedral and he is buried in Pembroke.

The Great War ended , to great rejoicing. Ninety people lost their lives fighting for Bermuda and the UK in this war. Carl Loop, whose husband was consul in Bermuda, told of her war work, as organizer and president of the American Navy Club of Bermuda "which provided quarters and entertainment for sailors of the United States and our Allies.

George's in lifeboats for a ship moored at Five Fathom Hole which took them to Germany. The family had long relocated to Bermuda. At the age of 15 he became an apprentice on a ship plying trade between London and the West Indies. Undaunted he jumped ship in Demerara and after hiding for three weeks in the jungle, worked his way to England and joining the Royal Navy as a gunner.

He served first upon H. Victory and later upon H. Lurcher where he was seriously wounded at the Battle of Jutland. He was later transferred to the Canadian Navy and invalided out in She attended Bermuda High School and North London Collegiate School, and went on to receive an honours bachelor's degree from Royal Holloway College, London University, in , becoming one of the first Bermudians to earn a university degree. Her ambition to become a lawyer, however, was unfulfilled because law schools in England did not admit women until She returned to Bermuda the following year and began a woman suffrage campaign in Bermuda, holding the first meeting in St.

On the outbreak of World War 1, she travelled back to England with the aim of assisting the war effort. Supporting herself by working in an insurance firm in London, she then volunteered with the Red Cross, and subsequently worked close to the front lines in Verdun, France, serving food to soldiers and tending the wounded, until she fell ill herself and was sent back to England in The Bermuda Union of Teachers was formed. It was Bermuda's first union. The US base in Southampton was closed, following the ceasation of hostilities.

Formation of the Bermuda Union of Teachers. First aircraft seen in Bermuda. It was a naval scout hydro-airplane that normally traveled on the deck of her mother ship the USS Elinore. The aircraft had a gross weight of pounds and a top speed of 80 miles per hour. After the war, she had dumped gas drums and mustard gas shells in deep waters off Virginia. On that date in , she was in the town of St. George in Bermuda after a scientific research voyage south of Bermuda, sheltering from bad weather. He dropped from the open cockpit the first "Air Letter" posted in Bermuda.

Only were actually built by Curtiss. Most were built under license by the Burgess Company of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Fifty others were assembled after the war, from spare components and engines by the U. He died of the effects of the war when still in service. For the third time, Bermuda too, including British Army soldiers and Royal Navy sailors based in Bermuda, were all affected when, as a direct result of the Temperance Movement in the United Kingdom having helped to persuade then-Chancellor David Lloyd-George to impose punitive tax rises on all alcoholic drinks, which tipped the alcohol industry into a near 30 year decline, the Temperance Movement there not only also backed British Government Great War moves to cut public house pub hours and strengths of all alcoholic drinks but persuaded the British Government and its overseas parliaments to impose further steep tax rises in the post-Great War years.

When Prohibition began in the USA, to last for 14 years, liquors of all kinds was smuggled from Bermuda into the United States, until Prohibition ceased in It was to last 14 years, a period of unparalleled smuggling, piracy, murder, and lawlessness. Members swooped on bars and drinking dens with sledgehammers and wreck joints. By they had made some 36 US states go dry. Oddly, there was one Scotch whisky that was exempted from Prohibition, but this was little-known. Laphroiag from Islay in Scotland could still be freely imported because US Customs Officers had ruled that because it tasted so strange people could only possibly drink it for medicinal purposes.

The ban on all other liquor had huge repercussions. New words were added to the American vocabulary, such as "hijacking," "speakeasy," "home brew," "rum-running," and "rum row. Although the Volstead Act was passed in October and the United States Coast Guard set up its defenses against smuggling by sea in , Americans refused to take the prohibition against alcoholic beverages seriously. Breaking the law became the norm for many; speakeasies sprang up, and stable, conservative "pillars of the community' made dandelion wine and beer in the cellar and served "bathtub gin" to their guests.

Smugglers of every variety brought imported liquor over the back roads of the Canadian border arid bottled goods in sacks into the coves and estuaries along both the Atlantic and the Pacific Coasts. By ship from Bermuda was one of the most lucrative routes. They called them rum-runners but in fact every kind of liquor in the many different kinds of scotch, gin, vodka, beer and liqueurs were eagerly sought.

The rum-runners were a motley crew who met a fleet of tramp steamers, New England and Canadian fishing schooners, steam yachts, and even tugboats that sailed from islands off Newfoundland, from Bermuda, and from the West Indies.

At first, the heavily laden vessels dropped anchor just outside the three-mile territorial limit and later, after the United States worked out international agreements, outside the mile limit. When federal jurisdiction was limited to just three miles off the beaches, almost anything that floated was employed to transfer cargoes from the anchored fleet to hiding places ashore.

Even rowboats were used at times. When the territorial boundaries were pushed out to 12 miles, more seaworthy craft were needed able to carry several hundred cases of contraband at high speeds and in all weather. The principal rum row, the lineup of larger vessels, was off the New York-New Jersey coast, nearest to the largest collection of thirsty drinkers, but others were established in New England waters, off the Virginia Capes, and in Florida.

In Bermuda, this "export" of previously all-imported liquor was to prove very profitable to some Bermudians and the crews they employed and was one of the major reasons why, especially in the days of Prohibition, Bermuda, as the nearest offshore foreign place to New York and New England, became a favorite watering hole and vacation spot for New Yorkers and New Englanders. Furness Withy, see below, was quick to see the development implications of this, not just from the mercantile point of view but also because it realized there was a considerable secondary form of profit to be made - from selling alcoholic drinks on its ships and in its future Bermuda-based hotels to thirsty American tourists.

Willochra was sold to Furness Withy. She was refitted and renamed Fort Victoria. Initially, she was operated by the Quebec Steamship Co of Montreal.

A young Bermudian was the victim of an early British race riot in the pot of Liverpool. He was murdered at Liverpool docks. Alfred Birdsey moved to Bermuda when he was only 7 years old. First company of Girl Guides was formed in Bermuda , for white girls only. Bermuda and West Atlantic Aviation Company formed.

John's, Newfoundland and landed at Clifton, Ireland in 16 hours and 12 minutes, gave fresh impetus to aviation in Bermuda. They brought to Bermuda several aircraft most islanders had never seen before. They were three Avro K sea planes, two 2-seat Standard planes, a three seat model and three four seat Supermarine Channel Mark 1 flying boats. The two men wanted to make Bermuda a base for aeronautic surveys of Newfoundland in Canada and in Central and South America. Among their exclusive rights was one to spot whales from the air, to create a revival of Bermuda's once-dominant whaling industry.

They selected Hinson's Island, which Major Kitchener owned after , as their base and built two wood framed hangers there. They also built a slipway to serve both hangers. The slipway had rails to move the aircraft to and from the water. But their plans were ahead of their time. Their aircraft right were distinctive sights above the skies of Bermuda.

They were fuelled by the Esso Company's West India Oil Company's wagons that put their cargoes of fuel on boats to make the crossing across Hamilton Harbor to the aircraft's' terminal on Hinson's Island. The aviation company did not survive for long. However, in its heyday it was the way many Bermudians got their first flight in an airplane - and it provided the talk of the town for many weeks. Bermudians had to wait 17 more years before they could fly to another jurisdiction. Formation of The Bermuda War Veterans' Association, a year after the First World War or Great War ended, to support returning Bermuda servicemen, in much the same way as a returned servicemen association had been established in Australia and New Zealand.

A similar self-help group had not then been set up for the black returnees of the Bermuda Militia Artillery. American artist Clark Greenwood Voorhees to began to paint images of Bermuda. Voorhees and a small group of fellow Old Lyme artists began to spend their winters in Bermuda. This group of painters reflected the brilliant light and jewel-like colours peculiar to Bermuda. But his real claim to fame came when he set up a photographic studio in the s and proceeded to take photographs from the air of both the US Navy submarines, submarine chasers and more, mentioned below.

First appearance in Bermuda of the US Navy's new type of naval vessels , submarine chasers. Long vessels, narrow in the beam, they were surface reactions to the new underwater threat of the submarine, the devastating effect of which the German Navy had demonstrated early in the First World War.
