  • Brigadier Franz Reginald Lindsay "Frank" Goadby OBE (1899–1985) was a British Army and British Indian Army officer. After training at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the Royal Engineers, though he transferred to the Royal Corps of Signals in 1920. Goadby served much of his early career in India, including during the Waziristan campaign in the early 1920s, his actions in which were recognised by appointment as a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Goadby transferred to the British Indian Army in 1926, in the rank of captain, and served with the 3rd Sikh Pioneers and 6th Rajputana Rifles. During the Second World War he served in the Burma campaign, for which he was twice mentioned in despatches. Upon Indian independence in 1947, Goadby became the last British senior officer to hold a position in Calcutta and the last British commander of Bombay. Goadby retired in 1949, after which he lived in a 400-year-old mill at Standlake, Oxfordshire. He held many voluntary positions, including as treasurer of the local football club, president of the youth centre, manager of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and president of the Oxford branch of the Burma Star Association. He had a long association with the Royal British Legion, serving as chairman and then president of their Oxfordshire branch from 1953 until 1977. Goadby was deputy lieutenant of Oxfordshire from 1964. A keen local historian, he wrote a history of Standlake church that was published in 1965. Upon his death, his papers were split among a number of archives. (en)
