On 2 June 1945 Constable Henwood was riding his Police motor cycle outfit from Delungra to Inverell.

Unfortunately he collided with a stationary truck receiving extensive injuries. He died in the Inverell Hospital three weeks later. The Constable was born in 1907 and joined the New South Wales Police Force on 23 May 1928. At the time of his death he was stationed at Inverell.
