Enlisted in Newmarket. The Newmarket Journal reported that Charles had no wounds and was judged to have died of shock. The 9th Suffolks were "enjoying" a quiet spell behind Ypres at St Jean-les-Ypres at the time, stirred occasionally by shelling and sniper fire. Charles was one of only three 9th Suffolks killed that week |
