Notes
He enrolled at Worcester College, Oxford in 1916 but, as the college archive states, 'Charlie Whitelock was born in 1898 and attended Barnsley Grammar School. He entered Worcester College in October 1916 but obtained a commission in the Royal Flying Corps in August 1917; his parents later wrote to the Bursar that “his thoughts were much occupied with military matters” during his time in Oxford. After a period of training he was sent to Eastern France to join the Independent Air Force in February 1918, where he conducted bombing raids on munitions factories in Germany. Lieutenant Charles Whitelock was killed in action near Charmes on 16 July 1918.'
