Machine Gun Corps Badge
We can find out little about Charles’ service but he became a Sergeant in the Machine Gun corps, 4th Battalion and sadly died not long after the armistice on 20th November 1918. His parents must have hoped to have been spared the loss of their only child when the Armistice came, only to receive that much dreaded telegram. He is buried in Valenciennes.
