Add my storyBiography contributed by Anita Tsamtsikas
Charles joined the army less than one year after the murder of his Mother in Feb 1915 by his Father. He was second born of five known children.
His military career was over before it began being hospitalised with Measles and VD soon after arriving and then sustaining some sort of injury that affected his hearing.
From all accounts Charles took a while to settle down in one place Wuban, Irwin, Kalgoorlie in Western Australia where he married Grace Alice BUCHAN and had 2 children.
