5170 Private Sidney Charles Good of the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, died at h0me on the 2nd October 1914, probably as a result of sickness. He was born in Walthamstow and was living in Leyton when he enlisted. He joined at Dalston and is buried in Netley Military Cemetery.
Sidney was born in late 1883 or early 1884, his birth registered in the West Ham district in the March quarter of that year. His number probably dates to November 1903 which in turn suggests - depending on his original terms of enlistment - that he may have been on the Army Reserve when he died.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
