Sydney Morning Herald 18th May 1915 pg. 12 ROLL OF HONOR HUNTLEY;-Died of wounds at the Dardanelles, May 8. Lieutenant Clive Neilson Reynolds Huntley, second son of Mr and Mrs L R Huntley, of No 1 Wharf Road, Snails Bay, grandson of the late N D Stenhouse, M.A. and beloved nephew of Edith Scott, Florence and Eva Stenhouse, Riverview, Roseby-street, Marrickville.

Gosford Times 16th July 1915 Heroes of the Battle Field A Gosford boy The late Lieutenant Clive Neilson Reynolds Huntley, 1st Field Engineers, who died of wounds on May the 8th, was the son of Mr and Mrs Huntley, of Wharf Road, Snail's Bay. He was a native of Gosford where he was born nearly 30 years ago. His father was manager of the Mercantile Bank in Gosford 1886-87. After serving his time as engineer with Messrs Waugh and Josephson, Sydney he entered the Railway and Tramway Service, and made rapid progress. He had a genial disposition that drew all men to him. Clive Huntley was among the founders of the Draftsmen's Association, which later became a branch of the above service. The loss of such an excellent man is felt very keenly by the Department and his comrades, who predicted a brilliant future for him. Lieutenant Huntley wrote to say that he had been selected for special duty, but his modesty forbade any mention of the fact that he had been promoted for good work in Egypt. The sincerest sympathy is extended to Mr and Mrs Huntley and family.
