Burial/memorial information
Charles was deployed by mistake to the 22nd Battalion when he left England for the front. As he was unable to serve in a Francophone unit, he was transferred to the 24th Battalion one month later.
In the trenches of Saint-Éloi, Belgium, on 26 April 1916, he was severely wounded and died of his wounds three days later at No. 10 Casualty clearing station in “Remy Siding”, near Poperinghe.
