In the choir at St. Albans Cathedral site, a bronze tablet was dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Ambrose Harold Goodman. Ambrose was born on 6 October 1896 in Cayuga, Ontario. He was the son of Ambrose Kenneth Goodman, of the firm Goodman and Galbraith Barristers and Solicitors; his mother was Linn Goodman. Ambrose was a student of the University of Toronto and a member of the 109th Regiment militia when he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 17 August 1917. Upon arriving in Europe, he was made a lieutenant in the 116th Battalion. He was injured by a shell on the first day of the Battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918 and died of his wounds a week later.
