218336 Sgt. Charles Henry Wogan British Army London Regt from:Rolls Rd. Bermondsey, SE London. (d.3rd Dec 1918) Charles Wogan was my uncle on my mother's side. I knew nothing of him except that prior to WW1 he was an articled clerk to solicitors. He fought in Europe and was brought to Le Harve where he died of influenza. He is buried in a cemetery in the town. Some years ago I was on business in Jamaica Rd, Bermondsey when I walked past the Drill Hall at No 2. Outside was a memorial to the dead of the London Regiment and my uncle's name was on it. As I am preparing a memoir for my grandchildren I tried in vain to find the Drill Hall but it and the memorial had disappeared. The local council said it had been removed to a safe place during redevelopment. They appear unable to tell me where it is now! If anyone has information about it or of Charlie. I would be grateful. It seems a shame that on the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1 no one cares enough to replace it where it would honour those who fell. Please send me any information.
