Sgt. Charles Thomas Allaway

British Army 5th Battalion, B Coy. Essex Regiment

from:20 Weight Road, Chelmsford

(d.2nd Nov 1917)

On the back of a photo we have of Charles Allaway, taken in Tunis 1916 dressed as a sheik holding an elephant gun, it states that he died whilst guarding the gates of Jerusalem, written by his older sister, my great grandmother Mary Hughes. He is buried at the Gaza Commonwealth Cemetery. His son's birth certificate of 5th April 1916 lists him as Sergeant, ball bearer and tester. The photo states he was a Corporal.
