As a member of the Olympic Amateur Wrestling Club, Arthur Gould won the middleweight freestyle title at the Northampton Institute Championships in 1910. At the Stockholm Olympics two years later, he fought as a lightweight in the Greco-Roman competition, but was defeated in his first and only contest. Gould was an Estate Manager in the village of Plush in Dorset, and during World War II was second-in-command to the local Home Guard, for which he was honoured with an MBE. Sadly, while serving with his platoon in 1941, Gould lost an arm in a hand grenade accident. He still took an interest in the activities of Plush, however, and was also involved with the local Parish Council.
