Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
Lindsay George Arnold Good was one of three sons who served in the AIF, sons of James Good and his wife Mary Annas, who lived on a farm at Dalyston, South Gippsland, Victoria.
All three brothers, William, Horace, and Lindsay, farmers, enlisted in the same week in January 1915 and were posted to the 22nd Battalion. All three were attached to C Company.
On 10 June 1915 the brothers landed in Cairo, where they remained in training until September. It was early on 6 September 1915 when they were landed at Gallipoli.
Lindsay’s brother, 92 Private William Barrett Silk Good died at Gallipoli on 29 October 1915 when he went into a mineshaft attempting to rescue other wounded men. The poisonous gasses overcame William and he could not be resuscitated.
Lindsay survived Gallipoli and rose through the ranks of the AIF. As a Lance Corporal he was recommended and awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal at Broodseinde Ridge in Belgium.
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When an enemy machine gunner killed his sergeant, he leaped out and bombed the position, killing the gun crew and capturing the gun. He then rallied the men, and led them in the assault on the final objective.'
Lindsay underwent training as an officer cadet early 1918 and was promoted to Second Lieutenant then Lieutenant later in 1918. He returned to Australia in April 1919.
