Francis Bennett-Goldney

Francis Bennett-Goldney (1865-1918) was the Conservative MP for Canterbury and mayor of Canterbury who died in World War I.

As a Major in the Royal Army Service Corps he died 27 July 1918 from injuries sustained in a motor-car accident and is buried at St Germain-en-Laye, near Paris.

Goldney was appointed as Athlone Pursuivant of the Order of St. Patrick in February 1907, and has been mentioned as a possible suspect in the theft of the insignia of the Order, known as the Irish Crown Jewels in July 1907.
