The 155 men of the 6th reinforcements to the 4th Battalion embarked from Sydney on 16 June 1915. They stopped at Fremantle on the way and they disembarked in Egypt on the 21st July and only two weeks later the bulk of them landed the at Anzac to reinforce the 4th Battalion. No time for training.

They landed at Gallipoli on the 4 August 1915.

Charlie Fell died 2 days later. He was reported as missing until a court of enquiry on 22 April 1916 determined his death as 6 August 1915.

The discovery of his remains by the War Graves Commission was communicated to his parents during 1924. He was buried in the Lone Pine Cemetery.
