Biography contributed by Stephen Brooks
Charles Fuller was wounded on the 27 August 1915 and died three day later. He was the brother of 29 Sergeant Godfrey Archibald Fuller 4th Battalion AIF who had been killed in action at Gallipoli on 27 May 1915, aged 20.
Charles was reported to have “finished his education at the Parramatta District School, where his manliness and frankness made him very popular. Shortly after leaving school, he received a good appointment in the Commercial Union office in Sydney, which position he occupied for six years and only vacated on enlisting. The staff gave him a very hearty send-off and presented him with a wristlet watch. The young patriot left Sydney on May 12 as a member of the 17th Battalion. Like his brother, Sergeant Godfrey Fuller, the first to fall, he was greatly esteemed in his home district and elsewhere.”
