John Goodall was born in 1833 and attested for service in the 63rd Regiment at Cheltenham in October 1850, serving at the Depot and in Ireland. In July 1854, the 63rd sailed for the Crimea, initially landing at Scutari and then to Kalamita Bay in the Crimea, landing there in September 1854. He was wounded in the trenches in or about October 1854, as he was invalided and evacuated to the hospital at Scutari on 11 November 1854. He was invalided home from Scutari in December 1854 on board the transport ship Avon. In January 1855 the Avon docked at Liverpool, and Private Goodall was admitted to the Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary where he died of his wounds sustained in the Crimea on 17 February 1855. A monument was erected by public subscription for the seven Crimea veterans who had died at the Liverpool Workhouse Infirmary which included the name of John Goodall.
