David Levi Goode, a native of Maxstock, Warwickshire, was born in 1831 and attested for the 63rd Regiment at Cheltenham on 26 March 1851. He served in Limerick and Dublin until his regiment embarked for the Crimea on 22 July 1854. The regiment was engaged at the Alma on 20 September 1854 and David Goode is recorded as having ‘died at the Alma’ on 22/23 September 1854, two days after the action. He is not listed in the published rolls of those wounded but may well have died of disease such as cholera.

Sold with copied extracts from the medal and muster rolls.
