Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

Charles died of his wounds at the London Hospital, Whitechapel on 15 Jul 1915. He was originally admitted to a military medical unit on 12 May 1915 with a gunshot wound to the head. He was treated in at least three medical facilites in France and London. [National Archives Reference MH106/1598]
 
The war diary for 12 May 1915 is transcribed below:
May 12th 1915: - More German patrols attempted to come up undercover of darkness but failed to do so leaving their dead behind them. Our new howitzers made very pretty practice on the enemy's trenches situated in dead man's bottom some 200 yards in our front. This drove the Germans out who then came under our rifle and machine gun fire and suffered accordingly. Our fire continues to dominate the German snipers many of whom we have picked off.

9.00pm: our left trench taken over by Somerset Yeomanry. The Company being relieved coming in close support behind the ? Which in reality is a fire trench. END
