Pte. Charles Robert Wright

British Army 10th Battalion Royal Hampshire Regiment

from:Lockerbie

(d.21st Aug 1915)

Charles Wright was my Sister-in- Law, Ann Sweeney's, grandfather. He died at Gallipoli on 21st of August 1915 and is commemorated on the Helles Monument. However, as he died without mentioning to the army that he was married, his widow never received a pension. This meant that his two daughters, one of which was Ann's Mum, had to go to work, in service, at a very early age to make ends meet.
