School prizes were instituted for both Charles (known by his middle name - Sidney) and his brother Philip. The Sidney Garlick Memorial Prize for English verse was founded in 1917. The Philip Garlick Prize was to be given to "that member of the Senior Literary and Debating Society who...is the best debater". It was noted that if the Debating Society folded the prize should be given to the boy who wrote the best essays on English Literature.
A newspaper obituary read "Sec Lieut C S Garlick, of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, was the second and only surviving son of Mr and Mrs J G Garlick, of 10 Tyndall Avenue, Bristol. He was educated at the Bristol Grammar School, and at Wycliffe College, Stonehouse. In January 1915 he was articled to Major W R Ackland, MRCS, LDS, but postponed his dental studies on joining the University OTC in April of that year. The following October he received his commission in the 8th Wilts Regiment, and proceeded to Oxford for a few weeks at the Military School. From there he was sent to Bovington Camp, in Dorset, and thence to Reading for a Pioneer Course. Early in May he received orders for active service, and on arrival in France was immediately transferred to the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, and was soon after selected for specially difficult work. The deceased officer, who was under 19 years of age, had evinced marked literary ability, and was a young man of much promise in many ways."'
