Sgt. Charles Ernest Harrott
British Army 4th Btn. Gordon Highlanders
from:Ontario, Canada
(d.23rd July 1916)
Charles was the son of Arthur Joseph Harrott (who was born in Paris, France 1860 and died in 1942 in Ontario, Canada) and Florence King (who was born in England 1866 and died in Scotland in April 1911).
Charles Harrott was born in June 1886 in Leicestershire. His father was the manager of a hosiery factory, Harrott & Co Ltd in Aberdeen, Scotland where the family lived. He travelled back and forth to Canada looking for opportunities to set up a new company and, while away, there may have been a takeover that left him out of business. After the death their mother took all the children to Canada to be with their father. The younger ones were in the care of his sister Annie Louise on the voyage over. Unfortunately, being such a large family (12 children) the younger children were raised by other families which was not uncommon at the time. His sister Annie Louise Harrott married Arthur Wellesley Elliott in January 1915. Annie was three months pregnant when she and her husband were travelling to Ireland aboard the Lusitania when it was struck by a German torpedo. She and the baby survived, but unfortunately Arthur did not and his body was never found. Information about this is to be found on the Lusitania Resource site.
All I know about Charles is that he died on 23rd of July 1916 on the Somme, France as his name is among those listed on the Thiepval Memorial.
