The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that Charles had served in the 1/1st Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalion before joining the Royal Warwickshires, and that his sister Iris Aitchison was his legatee. The Medal Rolls record that he was entitled to the Territorial Force Medal, and that he had gone to France serving in the 1/1st Hunts Cyclist Battalion under regimental number 395.
When his death was announced in the Peterborough Advertiser on 2/9/1916, a letter from Platoon Sergeant W.H. Day was quoted as stating that Charles had "only recently joined the Warwicks, and this was his first time in the firing line". Charles had been in the trenches when a shell burst close by; a fragment caught him in the stomach and he died within minutes; he had been buried in a wood near the trenches).
