Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Charles joined up about a year after the outbreak of war and was training sometime in Egypt. He served in the Machine gun Section of the 59th Battalion and was killed soon after entering the trenches in France in heavy fighting of July 1916. At school, he was noted for his steady determination and hard work. After matriculation, he studied for Law, and was practising as a solicitor when he enlisted. He was a fine footballer and shone as a half-back.
