Sent to Scutari on the 26th of November 1855.
From the Regimental History - Cornet Goad, who had been trying to find out the circumstances of his brother Captain Thomas Howard Goad's death, wrote that:
"Pte Farringdon [sic] of Captain Goad's own troop said that he had seen the Captain sitting or half-lying, with his revolver in his hand. He was then wounded in the lower part of the face or neck."
EJB: Farrington, who is not recognised as having taken part in the Charge, could possibly be accepted on this evidence.
