Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
It has not been possible to say with any certainty when Charles was wounded. In the period 24th Jul to 30th Jul 1916 the Battalion was in the front lines at Becourt Wood and a total of 122 men are recorded as being wounded.We do know that Charles was originally buried at map reference 57c.8.2.d.2.2 which is just south of Avesnes-le-Comte near the D75 road and his body was reburied at Caterpillar Cemetery, perhaps in Dec 1920.
