Mr. G. S. Woodman, of Hythe

Mr. G. S. Woodman, of Hythe, who died on 1st June, at the age of forty-six, had been joint honorary secretary of the Hythe life-boat station for three years, and in that short time had made him- self of great value to the station, in which he took the keenest interest.

He went out in the life-boat both on practice and service launches; was largely instrumental in providing the life-boat with a wireless set, which was designed and made locally; acted as wireless operator on board; and in both the work and social life of the station took a very active and generous part which made him a most popular and valuable honorary secretary, whose help will be greatly missed..
