His parents were Charles and Jane Elizabeth Goodall, of Slade Avenue Cottage, Park Street, Uttoxeter, Staffordhire.

He joined the Army in 1914 and saw service in Egypt, the Dardanelles and France. He joined-up with Private A.C.E. Mellor of the Hockley, who was awarded the Military Medal and survived the war.

The Uttoxeter Advertiser reported his death in their issue of the 18^th of July 1917. They stated that he had ‘died of wounds received on the Western Front’.

Prior to going to France, he was in the Dardanelles, where he suffered a fractured leg while evacuating the wounded. He was taken to Lemnos, and after a period in hospital was sent to Egypt. From there he went to France.

His obituary in the Uttoxeter Advertiser said that he was always an exemplary lad and a good soldier.

His commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel J. Humphrey, wrote to his parents as follows:

“I am writing to you to express the sincere sympathy of all in this unit in the loss you have sustained. Your son had been with us a considerable time. He was extremely popular, and never spared himself when work had to be done. In losing him, we officers and men have lost not only a comrade, but a dear friend. Once again, please accept our deepest sympathy.”
