Cpl. Charles Henry Brown
British Army 71st Sanitary Division Royal Army Medical Corps
from:East Ham, London
(d.29th Apr 1918)
Charles Henry Brown was my great uncle. The following is an excerpt from a family history written by his sister Rosie in 1950:
Charles joined the R.A.M.C. Sanitary Division and was sent to Egypt, and then on to France. In 1918 he decided to apply for a commission, but before he could return to the U.K. for training, he had to spend one month in a combatant corps. He was transferred to the West Ridings in April 1918. On the last day of that month, volunteers were called for a particular job. He volunteered and was killed outright.
