Sergt. Samuel Goddard (3rd Batt.).
In the _Standard_ of 5th Jan., 1868, appeared the following obituary
notice regarding this gallant soldier:—
“DEATH OF A MILITARY KNIGHT, AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—On Sunday last Capt.
Samuel Goddard, Military Knight of Windsor, died at his residence in the
Lower Ward, Windsor Castle. This veteran and gallant officer was
formerly of the 14th or Buckinghamshire Regt. of Foot, and had seen very
lengthened service in the army, having served in the campaign of 1815,
including the battle of Waterloo and the storming of Cambray; in 1817,
in the East Indies, he was present at the siege of Hattrass, and in the
campaign of 1817–18, in the Deccan; also at the siege and storming of
Bhurtpore, in 1825–26. With the medal so well earned, he was one of the
officers receiving rewards for distinguished service; moreover, as
having originated the measure by which was accorded to meritorious
quartermasters of long service the nominal rank of captain, several of
whom, many years since, presented him with a handsome testimonial,
expressive of their obligation, and of his efficient aid.”
