Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

At Mansfield there is a monument which has been erected to the memory of an old Melbournian, Herbert John Goodman, who, as sergeant in the Bushmen's Corps, lost his life in South Africa in July, 1900. After his name and the date of his death, &c., are the words, "No surrender" which was the keynote of Goodman's fighting, and was the secret f his dreadful death, for his body was riddled by Boer bullets when he refused to hold up his hands.
