Went to Canada in April, 1913, and on the outbreak of war in Aug. 1914, enlisted at Vancouver, B.C. He was killed in action near Ypres, 25 April, 1915. A comrade wrote: “Charlie was shot after we had recaptured the guns and were returning. We were sent out of one small fort and had to dig ourselves in about 100 yards in advance of the fort, and it was whilst doing this that Charlie got hit; in fact, we had just received the order to get back to the fort, and he and I were making our way down a small ditch when he fell; his death was instantaneous, as he was shot in the head. Our ranks were, indeed, terribly thinned by that attack, but as we have been told by Gen. Anderson that it was our brigade who stopped the whole of the German line advancing, we feel very proud, and my deepest regret is that Charlie was not spared to share the honours; but you can all feel proud of him. He died like a man, and a better friend or braver soldier there was not.” At Felsted he made a name for athletics, winning the junior steeplechase one year and the senior twice. He also took the championship for sports.
