Biographical Notes:

His brother Harry also served, but returned to NZ in 1919. “Frank Goodrick, killed in action at El Rumani, Egypt, on August 9, was the eldest son of Mr H. Goodrick, of 5, Windsor Street, The Mount, York, and nephew of Mr J. Magson, Rakaia. He was thirty-three years of age and came out to New Zealand about ten years ago, and since then had been engaged in farm work, chiefly in North Canterbury. He was in the employ of Mr Streeter, of Greendale, when he enlisted, and he left New Zealand with the Third Reinforcements. His younger brother, Harry, left with the Eighth Reinforcements and is “ somewhere in France.”“ [Lyttelton Times, Volume CXVII, Issue 17279, 21 September 1916, Page 8]
